don't get me wrong, i love public libraries in general. (altho i can never figure out why record companies sued people for sharing files electronically but not the libraries who share everything) . . . however,
my local library system, the minuteman library, changed their website a few years ago and i genuinely hate what they did. Basically, they only use the middle third of the screen for the advanced search fields. see here:
http://library.minlib.net/search/X
i suppose this is supposed to be nice artsy design style, blah blah blah, but this space-wasting formatting means no matter how large your monitor, and no matter how simple a search, you HAVE to put some data in, then mouse down then type some more data, then mouse down to find and hit the submit button.
i am sure this looks nice on some design sheet somewhere but having to put some data in, then mouse down then type some more data, then mouse down to find and hit the camoflaged submit button is just . . . dumb. I have complained about this and can't seem to get connected to the person(s) who do the web design. oh well . . . it IS free.
