Do you remember...

oh wait obviously this won't work with two questions. mod to thread. please delete. or everyone just answer the second.

everything goes to the left.

i want to say it was called BRUIN but i can't remember

columbia's was called LEO i'm pretty sure

Ha, I didn't remember, but I just looked it up: ARIADNE.

I didn't remember until a few months ago, when I got a job with the library services people at my old university. So I think I'm disqualified there.

Left navigation always seems preferable to me, unless I'm misunderstanding the question.

it looks like it's clio now, but i don't remember what it was then

i miss the days when it all seemed undecided, what "navigation" was, or where it should be

Can't remember what it was/is called, it's been over a decade. I think nav was on the right? It's accessable over the Internet now anyway. Much cleaner and more detailed interface. I've just checked on the availability of a book I tried to take out 12 years ago - both copies are still bloody well loaned out!

yes, but the odd thing about the second question is that shouldn't what's most important be on the left and isn't content more important than navigation? google places adds on the right.

i think web designers are lazy and don't want to figure out how to resize pages unless this was all ages ago too and that is not the real reason

this is like trying to remember my compuserve email from 1992

navigation and features placed on the right get ignored, and using both sides the way amazon or slashdot does creates confusion. go find the print button on google maps. it's there, I promise.

wikipedia puts navigation on the left and it seems like a much better model for a research tool.

(the new amazon.com is fucking atrocious. they need to just give up on making all that shit fit under one umbrella and give each store an appropriate interface for the items it sells - like the rest of the goddamn internet)

SALS for real and for sad,
and,
on the left

oh sorry SALSA. !SALSA!

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Hmm... Sheffield one was called STAR but I can't remember the Manchester one.

I don't know if navigation should go on the left or right ideally, but I'm so used to it being on the left I think I'd find it a pain for it not to be.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
