The new OPAC is nice to look at, but it has some issues that I'd like to chat with you about sometime, when you get a minute. No rush or anything.

First of all, the new OPAC is very minimalist, lots of groovy white space. The cute graphics will make selecting the format easier, I think. The feature that show similar books is swell, and the way it showed the order of book in a series made my heart sing. I also like the reviews. I put some things on hold and it worked well. But when I tried again today to put True Blood, season two, on hold, it gave me a funky message that said, Unable to contact the circulation system.Please try again in a few minutes. It has given me that same message several times. Also, when I requested an item that was in process (I forget where), it said that it was unavailable to request, but the old OPAC let me do it. That's uncool. Still, the thing has potential.
