The redesign of this catalog proven one of the first auxiliary means any antiquarian, it has to do with older titles is very shameful and horrible wayward. For reasons that we can only guess in pseudo-modern website bells and whistles, the colors of the key texts bl ä ß have been tinted Lich, the reading is on the length of stay for the agony I have this disgusting bad habit of allowing to also change your browser settings little help, even blame in various portals of our industry and in some "trendy" websites have established colleagues.
May I speak frankly? Behind a website design that damages one of the most valuable instruments, namely, our eyes, offended and can only put a hidden sadism - or, at best, a blatant stupidity. I invite all users, more complex songs that really require closer examination was in order with the new kit / KVK call. The pale blue shade of the writing is again all reason, it is as thoughtless as cruel.
Even otherwise reveal the new design a little empathy.
Three to four of the databases that are rubricated under "bookstores" are in fact portals for old, that is, antiquarian books. It seems the designers are not known to be that "Books" just not "book stores" is to categorize. Book trade is N ew-order company, and the old book trade is not the "book trade", but under bookseller. So that's what it is.
year, ISBN, ISSN and publisher are so close to the previous field shifted, that by no means obvious at first glance, is whether the preceding or following the field were assigned. - Meta Catalog and free text, two, many (including gebüldeten) lay not known technical words are, blithely plunked down unexplained, however, there is room for a prominent set of self-advertising text on the search fields. - ". Electron texts" we must never, never abbreviate Sun share to Google Books as "electron. texts" Not only is partially incorrect, but even stupid. Google Books is something much more comprehensive. Here you have to put in another way. - Two "world" titles in two columns show only that the designer has botched elementary rubrications at the site and requires a little planning now. - With pale green and a touch on the small side text for the database name of the designer announced on the home page already, the atrocities he is ready in the main page for us. On the main page!
About: Please note that this is a verbatim in the original color page of KVK KIT - in the daily practice that side, you must really be seen in the most precise to choose different conditions and so on. The blue horizontal bar with the name of the union catalogs are way too prominent. It is first of all about the user to define the most ambiguous titles offered data in a way that he has selected truly his support, his title. Only then comes the question, what network it may click. To this end he needs a clear but modest cross-bar, nothing more. Because he is concerned with the title. And the title, we know already held, in painstaking disgusting pale blue, killed yet by cunning and trickery ö nt in the Sense that G rauwei ß has been added to created the "fashionable" pale character effect.
What was problematic in the old Chamber of Commerce, is now very disturbing: The title run wide t. You are in this terrible read length unfriendly. - It has not ashamed to give the seconds of calling time remains. This is silly, unnecessary as a goiter, and in view of the fast access time no longer makes sense. The slow access time in the Chamber of Commerce are, at least in normal use, over. - To put under each box to the top "is similar Kafkaesque and absurd. Guys, what is this please?
from the pale blue Torture instead of eyes we come to the usual country and associated databases, which are known to their peculiarities haben.Für us booksellers most vexing of the waiver of GBV in a sensible ISBD display without force structure that could be entered directly into our CSV lists - until the last few months is no longer possible. This says only w + h. But enough of that ..
talk in my website reviewers I very direct. This is based on the belief that damage by incorrectly designed websites and more people are affected and hurt by some as a traffic accident.
Postscript: The person responsible for the disaster, Uwe Dierolf, sent me a friendly email that I referred to a reasonable Webdiskretion not like to quote verbatim. But I summarize the meaning (and my forehead):
first
KIT - as leading institution - has this Web-style, and therefore must be the KVK to the Web Style of KIT to be adjusted (" new design guidelines that we have to keep us )
second
about taste can not argue.
, allow me a translation:
first
I am a bureaucrat and subordinate. So f hreichaus above what is purchased me. have the responsibility to the Chefs. I can for nothing.
second
Mosern you not around, Mulzer. There are many people who are pale gray, halbverhehlte written in over broad lines are beautiful and practical.
My idea about this:
Karlsruhe was 150 years decried as bone-dry city bureaucrats, a whole country (Baden) laughed about it. I actually thought it was over ...
+++++++++++++++
Here is my answer that I can bring the following:
Mr Dierolf,
results
I have allowed myself to your prompt response for which I thank you, as an attachment to the little blog article to be added. Then I email in the text basically as confidential look at, it was only appropriate.
Otherwise, I can reassure you: My blog is completely unknown, barely read and serves me rather than leisure. Also, the financial newspaper usually takes no notice of me.
The tone of my speech was personally affected. They have - I can say it drastically - messed up my daily working tool with almost frightening. Accordingly, I react.
Otherwise, I greet you kindly
Peter Mulzer
postscript: I invite the Karlsruhe-one, in terms of readability of their far more modest, amiable "handmade" competition, Digibib to visit. If KvK its graphic cruelty does not return, I will with pleasure moving to Digibib. The Chamber of Commerce does not hurt, of course. But a little pensive, they should make this already, should not it?
