[IUG] Re: toplogo.html file

[hammett <hammett at sonoma dot edu>]

John,
Be sure to also check how it works with placing a hold (especially  
item-level holds). We ran into trouble with the " request selected  
item" button showing up above the toplogo (which was not very  
intuitive for our users!). Adjustments to the toplogo.html file fixed  
the problem.

We've found that we have to remember to test all the hidden nooks and  
crannies of the system (i.e. not just the  main search features) in  
order to find trouble spots.

Good luck!
