Hi Ron, I don't see that you've submitted a Report a Problem form. This area that we're in now is commenting on the page. Please try and submit again so we have all the details we need to help you--the form only has a submit button. Thank you!
I'm hoping someday soon, library computer users will have access to the Firefox web-browser.
It's more secure & stable than Internet Explorer.
In the meantime, I've seen notices saying that Internet Explorer (on some computers)
needs to be 'updated'. I'm no computer expert, but I know that an 'old' web browser
is, to whatever degree, dangerous for both the user & the library.
Please, at least keep all the web-browsers fully 'updated'.
Thanks in advance for your consideration.
Tom, thanks for your post! You can actually install Firefox on the library computers during your session if you like-the workstations are configured to allow this. You might also be interested in the Firefox portable app: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
Why does the library wifi redirect to Bing after the acceptance of the policy? It's annoying! If you have to redirect at all send users to a thank you page or redirect to the library website. It's bad enough you've polluted the Macs with Windows was it really necessary to redirect user devices to MS as well?
Hi Deron, our wifi is not set up to redirect users to any website after accepting the policy, it is set to "redirect users to the page they were trying to fetch." It's possible Bing is set as the homepage on the device you were using and that's where it automatically redirected.
Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to submit your comment about the new web site; I’m sorry to hear that you’re not happy with it.
Unfortunately, we are not able to revert to the older web site; a large part of our year-long process of upgrading the site was to make it more secure and stable to protect our assets and our customers’ personal information. However, while security and stability are important, that doesn’t mean much if our customers are disappointed with the final product.
Could you let us know specifically where you’re running in to trouble? I.e., what was your process in finding what you were looking for before?If you have specific transactions you'd like for us to walk through with you, please let us know.
The new functions are really rotten. Putting a selection on hold is an ordeal, and checking the status of an item is horrendous. Go back to the old system, because this one is too confusing. I've been getting books from the Arapahoe system for a number of years; have been viewing and selecting online since inception, and if I am having a heck of a time just getting the selection I want, I can only pity a newbie. Please fix this. I still cannot get a selection on hold, and I really can't figure out why.
I'm sorry you are having trouble Betti. We had to upgrade due to security and stability reasons and some changes were made in the process. Please let us know specifically how we can help you out and we'd be happy to. Thanks.
I miss the "in Transit" message. I hate driving to the library to pick up my Holds, drive home, click on ald website and find that another book has been made available to me while I was driving back and forth. If I could see that a book was "in Transit" I would postpone the trip until I rec'd notice that it wa available. The overall HOLD process seems cumbersome.
Hi Jean, Thank you for taking the time to submit your feedback on the hold process. The "in transit" message still appears on items in your hold list that are in transit. If you have an example of one that is not doing this, please let us know so that we can investigate further. We did enable the request button on title level pages last week. Hope that makes the experience less cumbersome. Let us know if you need further assistance. Thanks!

New Website
Overall, I think it's a gigantic step backward. Please bring back the old site. I cannot stand what you've done.
