Amazing work! This will really help reduce the number of steps I have to take to access databases and parts of our website. This definitely improves how quickly we can retrieve information for guests of the library. Thanks for going the extra mile and sharing these tips with us!
This is super helpful!
I had been walking my Consumer Reports friend through a 47-step process every time because I didn't know any better. I can provide an upgraded guest experience now! :)
