As you've likely noticed by now, the Medical Library's website has a slightly different look as of Saturday, January 3. The main navigation menu now features dropdowns when you hover over links like "Find," "Services," and "About," and more noticeably, the homepage has a wholly new architecture and layout.
We implemented this redesign in response to feedback from you about how we could make the homepage better. Click here and here to learn more about how and why the library undertook this project.
Here is a quick guide to where to find key items in the new interface:
