“Brown County on the Go” Connecting the County through Collaboration

5/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
​The Brown County Library’s Bookmobile is teaming up with fellow county departments this summer and is hitting the road! The Neville Public Museum, Aging Disability and Resource Center (ADRC) and Extension Brown County will be traveling to Bookmobile stops so residents can learn about available programs and services, participate in a program, listen to a presentation, ask questions and get answers!
 
A news conference introducing, “Brown County on the Go,” will take place at the Brown County Central Library, 515 Pine Street, downtown Green Bay, on Friday, June 7, 2019 at 11:15 am.  Weather permitting, the event will take place in front of the library on the Pine Street plaza. The event will move indoors if necessary.

Sorting "Refine by" in InfoSoup

5/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Update:  Innovative support found an “undocumented” back door way of setting the Location facet to alphabetical order, which has been implemented. The Location list is now displaying in Alphabetical order. If you don’t see it, try refreshing your browser. The original “scope menu order” began with Adult & Young Adult and Children and then went in alphabetical order. The new workaround is strictly alphabetical order, so Birnamwood, enjoy your time on the front page! When the official fix comes out, it will likely return to the original sort order. 

Picture
There has been a recent change in InfoSoup that has been causing some minor confusion. After you do a search in InfoSoup, you can use the Refine by column to limit your results by format, location, genre, language, etc.

In the past, the location list always began with Adult & Young Adult and Children, and then three libraries in alphabetical order. Clicking on more > would continue listing all the InfoSoup libraries in alphabetical order.

Like the other Refine by sections, Location now sorts by "hit count" rather than by alphabetical order.
