The idea behind the new design was to clean up the page and make it easier for our patrons to find the information they want and also for library staff to find answers quickly when answering patron questions. We have so many resources available, that patrons were starting to get lost in all the information, and the page was really lengthy.
The new design takes you directly to the database that will answer 70-80% of your questions. Our new “Start” button allows you to search a database of 7,000 full-text magazines; 3,600 journals; and five newspapers going back almost 25 years.
Our other 50 specialized research databases are still available as they are linked alphabetically and from within our catalog. All the databases are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and with your library card from home, office, or school.
