Some comments about UBO website from UBO employees
  • Difficult to understand how to find the different Departmental Libraries hidden behind the link to f.ex. The Mathematical and Natural Sciences Library.
  • The home page has no link to an English language page
  • Information resources have short link-names. Might be difficult to understand what is hidden behind the links.
  • The UBO website paths are not always easy to understand. The students information can be confusing.
  • I would get in contact with the address at the bottom of the particular webpage.
  • You can renew yours overdue book only by Mitt Bibsys or e-mail, on Norwegian webpage, by not on English page
  • Not easy to use if you are not familiar with the web site, boring design
  • It can improve in both navigation and design.
  • The departmental libraries have developed personal designs and that makes it more difficult to navigate.
  • The UBO website is acceptable
  • It is OK
  • Easy to navigate
  • Borrowing privileges available for people outside the library.
  • The students should get some more information about BIBSYS searching
  • I hope Metalib will make bibliographia research easier to use
  • I think it is ok, but I am not an outside user.
  • The website should have better design, not so many links
  • English home page is no good. A little more information (text) for Information resources links.
  • Better design and navigation.
  • The pull-down menus seem unnecessary. Frequently used links should be immediately available.
  • That is a large discussion.
  • The new MetaLib/SFX will be an important change toward user friendless
  • I work on the library and I can this site but we should know what the other users thinks
  • The terminology on the website is ok
  • I miss a translaion in english
  • Clear navigation, easy to use
  • For me it is good
  • It is easy to navigate ang quite good.

  • It is not so clear to understand the navigation of some webpages
  • The paths name should be more understandable
  • How can a person outside get a job in the Library.
