Effective June 15, 2004, NetLibrary will release several new site enhancements that will provide you and your patrons with important user interface upgrades. Upcoming enhancements include:
Updated Search Results Page
Session Timeout Warning Message
Online Reader Enhancements
Updates to the search results page streamline the user interface and make it easier for your patrons to identify titles, access content, and navigate search results. The View this eBook link will now be displayed in bold face and each record will include a thumbnail image of the book cover that allows your patrons to quickly identify titles and link directly to the eBook. Text formatting has also been modified to make it easier to identify titles that are part of a larger series. For example: Titles, such as Photoshop Album for Dummies, are displayed in bold face; series names, such as the For Dummies series, will be displayed in italic.
Each time a user is authenticated to the NetLibrary site, our system begins a new session. After fifteen minutes of inactivity, the session will timeout, and the user would have to log in again to continue their use of selected eBooks and various personalization functions. NetLibrary's new session warning will provide a warning message two minutes prior to session timeout, alerting users that their session will be terminated unless they click on the Continue Session button.
NetLibrary has updated the Online Reader with scrolling Table of Contents functionality that will automatically track the user's progress through the eBook and map to the current chapter or entry. Table of Contents will not only scroll to the active chapter, but will autoexpand to display the relevant entry headings within a chapter.
