53. Complete Catalog (not Reserves) kind of like “home” School color is a harsh “brown-maroon”, but we opted for a brighter red tone.
54. Course Reserves Has very different content, very different search options Color reverses to gray to help make that obvious.
55. All other Collections: A different place, but same search options as “home”, same “maroon” family, but more pastel. Colors have to work with logo colors.
64. Single link Link to library home page; opens in separate window Link to separate page; opens in separate window Links to separate resources; opens in separate window
