You may have noticed that things have changed a bit around the library’s website! Following the redesign of the entire UC Libraries’ 13 website into a more streamline, central website, some of the tools, services and links you previously used may have moved.
To help with this, we’ve created a quick video:
Check out the redesigned Libraries website scheduled to launch Thursday, Aug. 15.
Some of the new features and upgrades of the UC Libraries website redesign include:
Included in the redesign are all college and departmental (C&D) library web pages from the Archives to Rare Books Library to the Henry R. Winkler Center for the History of the Health Professions, as well as the Clermont College Library and UC Blue Ash College Library web pages.
While the starting web address of the site remains the same – www.libraries.uc.edu, the navigation and content within the site has changed, so update any links or bookmarks you may have to the site. And while great care was taken to be accurate, if broken links or missing content are discovered, contact Team Dynamix.
Update, May 16, 2016, 4pm: The website migration has been completed. Let us know what you think about the new site!
Next Monday (May 16), the Digital Collections & Repositories department will launch a new website. The website will be fully responsive and will work on all devices. Graphics will be prominently featured with less text overall. New features include a card-based collections page that can be filtered by library, subject, or format. We’re very excited to launch this new site and hope our users will find it easy to use.
During the transition on Monday, May 16, you may experience difficulties using the website as we copy new files over and remove old files.
New Digital Collections & Repositories website home page.
On May 6, the Health Sciences Library along with all UC Libraries will unveil a completely redesigned website.
Available at http://libraries.uc.edu/hsl/ (same URL as current site) the new website is easy to read and navigate with an updated look and feel, an uncluttered homepage with most content viewable without scrolling, new information and streamlined navigation. User-requested features such as the posting of today’s hours, enhanced location maps and a prominent link to Off-Campus Access from the homepage are included in the redesign.
New content around the growing subject of digital scholarship has been added, as well as a website dedicated to the Libraries’ Special Collections. Also featured prominently on the site are links to HSL Research Guides, a Distance Learning guide, workshops, eJournals and frequently used Health Sciences resources.
The tabbed search box, available on the left-side of the homepage and throughout on many secondary pages of the site, will allow users to search for articles, books, journals, databases and quickly and easily.
For those viewing the site on a tablet or mobile device, the redesign is responsive to adjust to individual screen sizes.
The website redesign does not include the Library Catalog or online databases.
Feedback is welcome as the Health Sciences Library website is a work in progress and will continue to develop over the summer.
