The Greenwood Library is pleased to announce two upgrades for our existing online catalog and streaming video services that expand their functionality and improve their ease of use.
When viewing full item records in the online catalog, users will see the following improvements:
- Larger book jackets and CD/DVD covers
- Easily accessible tabs with additional information such as table of contents, first chapter, and book reviews
- Redesigned interface
With the streaming video service, we’ve switched our delivery method from Quicktime to Flash and improved the interface to bring users the following benefits:
- Logging in to PBS videos is simpler—it uses the same authentication system as our databases.
- Integrated troubleshooting makes it easier to overcome any problems playing the videos.
- Video playback and seeking are smoother and more stable.
- Videos are more viewable, especially in a classroom, with full-screen support, automatic resizing, and backlight dimming features.
- All major browsers are supported, including Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and Opera.
- Extensible webpage and streaming server allow us to easily host other academic videos from around campus.
