book store question

You know, you’re right, but my guess is they just wanted to pare things down to make sure it was focused on SCM materials. You can still search for books under the Plan CM drop-down menu when you select Bookfinder, and then it will still allow you to view non-SCM materials at Amazon for possible purchase.

That said, I think it would be helpful to have a search box of some sort on the Bookstore pages, even if you first had to click on the subject matter. For example, what if you just wanted to see what SCM had available for the Reformation? I know most subjects don’t have a huge list to scroll through, but sometimes my mind wanders around thinking things like, “I wonder if they have materials for the Renaissance time period?” It would be helpful to just search for that under history, or (even better) from the main page of all subjects.

I LOVE the new layout of the site, bookstore included. Perhaps a search bar would be beneficial, but otherwise, I love the clean lined interface. I find everything I need so easily now.

There’s a search box in the footer of the site now, which shows on every page. This searches the entire site so we may add a search just for products to the store pages later.

Wow, Doug, you guys act fast!  I like the search box at the bottom of each page….although…..you could put a heavier line around the search box so it has a little more contrast…..just kidding! It’s my eyesight that needs more contrast, LOL.

Actually, I think that change is hard, especially so for some people. I know one young woman who walked into the large meeting room where we once held Sunday church services, saw that we had adjusted the seating to include two interior aisles instead of the usual one center aisle, and she asked for a paper bag so she could stop hyperventilating. (True story.) Eventually, the seating arrangement grew on her…..good thing, since one of the ushers who had a strange sense of humor had gotten into the habit of asking her, “Paper or plastic?” every time she walked in the door. (Again, true story.)
