When I click on the &#8220;home&#8221; link it only takes me back to a new search in the card catalogue &#8211; NEVER to the homepage. I always have to open a new page and start over just to get to the homepage. What a nuisance! Surely the web master is not aware of this glitch.<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Believe me when I say that I feel your frustration. As a librarian I use the catalog extensively and show others how to use it. It would seemingly make more sense for &#8220;home&#8221; to mean &#8220;library home page&#8221; and not &#8220;catalog home page&#8221;. But here&#8217;s the glitch.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>This catalog is used by all Temple Libraries, Paley, Medical and Law (and soon our Japan campus). So if the &nbsp;&#8220;home&#8221; link took you to the Paley home page, that wouldn&#8217;t work very well for someone at the medical or law library. And as far as I know there&#8217;s no way to program it to intuitively know which library you want to be home and there&#8217;s not much space at the top for links to all the different home pages. The easy solution is to go to the bottom of the page &#8211; not the top. On any catalog page, just scroll to the bottom and you will find a link to the home page of all three libraries. That&#8217;s definitely not as intuitive as we like, but it does serve the purpose.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>So we are indeed aware of this. However, I&#8217;ll bring your concerns to the attention of the web programmer to see if there are other solutions to explore. I guess the other easy solution, if you use the catalog enough and our links at the bottom of the page don&#8217;t suit you, is to create a link on the bookmark bar of your browser to the Paley Library Home Page at http:\/\/library.temple.edu. I hope you think we deserve a piece of that real estate.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Thanks for sharing your concerns with us.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Often when I am perusing the library card catalogue, I have wanted to return to the home page for something.
