New CARLI WebVoyage FAQ and Blog Page

CARLI has created an FAQ on our web site to share some of the most commonly asked questions and answers about the new look of WebVoyage, the Voyager public interface as supplied by Ex Libris. We anticipate that the FAQ will change over time and you will be able to note changes and additions to the FAQ by the "Last revised" dates that appear with each question.

Additionally, we have opened a new space on the CARLI blog for your comments on, and ideas about WebVoyage displays. The first entry on this topic includes instructions on how to set up a personal login so that you may post comments. The CARLI staff and the I-Share Users' Group's OPAC Team look forward to an open and productive blog conversation about this important matter.
