Making the Webpac mobile responsive

Documenting the steps taken to implement the New Look Library Catalog at the end of the first summer session.


  • Noted on the IUG list that some libraries discussed that the new Sierra Webpac set was much improved and could be modified for mobile uses.
  • Ascertained that Millennium users could use that Webpac set.
  • Began work in February 2016 to deconstruct the options and style sheets for possible use.
  • Began to adapt the options, style sheets, and HTML pages to our catalog during March.
  • At the end of March, sent out an email to all librarians to test the first draft and send comments to me by the end of April. 
  • Continued to work on improving the appearance and use of the catalog on mobile devices.
  • At the beginning of June, sent an email reminding all librarians that we would implement the new look at the end of the first summer session.
  • Prepared a quick tour tutorial for users during June.
  • Posted a pre-implementation, coming soon What's New at the end of June.
  • Implemented the New Look and informed all LS on July 4th.
  • Posted on What's New. (http://lswhatsnew.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html#288529500402352414)
  • Made suggested changes from librarians and staff.
  • Everything seems to be working just fine.
