I can't even figure out how to access the new "FamilySearch Library Catalog" from the Search drop down. And, the name is way too close to the original library "FamilySearch Catalog" as to be confusing to nearly everyone I talk to. Having to look two places to find things whose physical and/or digital location might be the same (e.g. 'old' books in the FSLibrary vs. 'newly received', but perhaps not newly published in the FSLibrary, definitely not intuitive).

Also, can you add the icons for the media type back to the new catalog representation next to the words? It's much easier to parse the media type with an image (perhaps add a globe for online digitized/searchable availability vs the digitized microfilm camera).
