Libraries Homepage Revision

We have refreshed our look and feel. Here is a list of major changes to help facilitate your navigation around the web site:

(Looking for our former home page?)

The main feature on the home page is the central location of the Quick Search box.Tabs highlight options to search for books and media, articles in databases, journal titles, subject guides, or quick access to interlibrary loan.

  • The Interlibrary Loan/ILLiad link is now located within in the Quick Search box.
  • The Research Gateway link is also located within the Quick Search box under the Databases tab.
  • The Books & More tab searches our "Classic" catalog.  A link is also provided to our USD WorldCat within this tab which provides easy access to ILLiad if USD doesn't have the item.

User-friendly terms replace library jargon; for example Books & More replaces Catalog, Research Guides replaces LibGuides.

Your comments and suggestions on further refinement of this page are welcome. Additional user testing on the home page will be done this semester. If you would like to participate, please e-mail library@usd.edu or select the Ask A Librarian button on the library pages and let us know.
