Go to March 1, 1911 for The Bend Bulletin and select the second page. Create a clipping of the “Liquors” advertisement and save to your computer: This was one of the trickiest tasks. As a user pointed out, there is no documentation/help listed in the Help Lib-guide.
Also, a few users used another screenshot tool either on the PC/Mac or a downloadable tool and did not realize- or did not want to use – the clipping feature on the website.
Major issues were: The clipping tool red border box was not clear to the user on the screen, especially if the user scrolled down and the red box preview disappeared. Also, the red box isn’t clear as a clipping boundary. The red box border can only the dragged to select the part of the newspaper that can be clipped and it cannot be resized to more appropriately select a certain area to capture.
Moreover, the clipping icon was confusing to users. Some users clipped the entire page, thinking that then the image could be manipulated. Or, users did not realize that was the icon/link that did the clipping action.
Recommendation: Update Lib-guide to include a section on clipping images. Look into other clipping functionality/code to add to ONI.
Perhaps a bigger ONI fix.
