As near as I can tell, everything is available through the new website and then some. I don't think anything is confusing in the way it's set up (other than that it's Different - more on that in a mo).
I think the new website will be overall easier to use for just about everyone. With the majority of the selections being directly visible, a lot of confusion should be eliminated for the many computer novices we have as patrons. The only confusion I foresee is that it's Different from what we had. It looks Different. It's organized Different. (and so on...) Change being tough for many, I would anticipate a wave of negativity before people settle in and "the new" becomes "the norm". As long as we're patient (and make certain to be up on the differences before-hand), this too shall pass. Congrats to everyone who's worked so hard on getting it ready. I think it will be a much more user-friendly portal into the world of our Library! (Even if we have to drag a few folks kicking & screaming into the 21st century...) Change is life and "Devil take the hindmost"!
