We have a new design for the library website, created by the ND Web Group, and are now converting the current site into the new design. Note that this is a work in progress.  Not all pages have been converted, some of the links are broken, and others take you to the current site.  A number of pages will change prior to the actual roll out of the site.

Some changes in the redesign:

• Search is much more prominent. We’ve provided search access to most library content. In addition to the search box on the main page, there’s a search box in the header of all secondary pages. We’re using the Google search engine that powers the University search for the website’s Site search.

• A cleaner, less cluttered look

• Use of a tabbed interface to provide easy access to related pages. One example is the subject pages. See a partial mockup of a subject page at http://webtest.library.nd.edu/test/psychology.shtml

• A new Database Finder function that lets you easily find databases by keywords in the title or description.

The temporary URL for the new library website is http://webtest.library.nd.edu/. Take a look and tell us what you think. Roll out date: Monday, Jan. 5, 2009.
