OCLC WorldCat.org Enhancements
OCLC has completed installation of several enhancements to WorldCat.org, including a new link back from the detailed record, a change in the way non-Internet resources are identified and updates to the way a framed page loads into another framed page.
-
A Return to Search Results link has been added from the detailed record. The user is now able to navigate back to the initial search results instead of having to execute a new search.
-
OCLC has refined the way Internet Resource is identified as a secondary item type. Users no longer see the Internet Resource icon appear on the brief list of results for items that are truly not Internet resources.
For example:
-
Pre-August install:
-
Post-August install:
- Indication of Frame Loading on Framed Pages — A message will be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the framed page indicating the page is loading. This will help users recognize that something is happening while a page is being loaded.
