When the ul goes to position: fixed it loses the width of its parent (which has a col-md-3 class) which is why it's smaller. If you can get the affix class to act like col-md-3 that'd help some, so: .affix { width: 25%; } is a start on large screens, but won't solve the way the ul ends up behind

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hiring strategy for a library programmer with tight budget - thoughts?

Re: [CODE4LIB] Hiring strategy for a library programmer with tight budget - thoughts?

Just two cents, maybe even a single cent: at the point where you're writing follow-up contracts to maintain or extend software written for contract, you should probably look into hiring someone. This is a symptom of a lack of investment in things you need. Best, Eric On Fri, Aug 15, 2014 at
