Hello all –
I know I said we’d return to Frameworks this month, but events of the day (or month) have once again intervened. As we’ve seen from recent communications from the ExLibris Implementation Team, we are moving ahead full steam toward the June 1 go live date. I know many of you are preparing for the technical freeze and helping to communicate these changes to our users, but I write today with a different purpose.
We recently announced that the name of our search interface will be QuickSearch, and I am writing today to invite you to help us with the selection of a graphic to build recognition and visibility for our new service.
We want your input. You know your users and the Rutgers community – what they
like and dislike and what works for them.
We want to use this visual on our website and in marketing materials, so it has to be eye-catching and work in multiple formats. It will be used alongside messaging that emphasizes that QuickSearch allows users to search across our collections with greater efficiency, accuracy, and relevancy. With the help of the ExLibris Implementation Team, we have managed to whittle the options down to a top 7. We need your help to get this down to the final graphic.
So, with that in mind, please let us know:
- What would be most appealing to Rutgers faculty and students?
- What communicates the excitement of QuickSearch most clearly to you?
- Which graphic most clearly matches your vision of what QuickSearch does?
Conversely, let us know:
- What visuals simply don’t work in your opinion?
- Which ones aren’t clear or don’t match the function of QuickSearch?
- Is there anything confusing about the graphics? Would you mix and match any elements of the graphics to create a new graphic?
- Or do you have a completely new concept you would like to share?
Please click here to let us know what you think of our leading QuickSearch graphics so far. We are in a time crunch, so please get your comments in by Tuesday, May 8 at 5 p.m.
Thanks in advance! We’ll announce the QuickSearch graphic next Wednesday!
if you prefer to email your comments, please send them to me or Jessica Pellien.
