As I previously announced, the library's homepage is undergoing a redesign. Our user experience team completed user testing on the "hi-fi" version of the design today.
Here is a quick guide to where to find key items in the new homepage design:
Item | New location |
Staff Quick Links | |
Request Materials/Interlibrary Loan | Dropdown menu > Services > Request Materials |
Reserve Study Rooms | Dropdown menu > Services |
Adopt a Rare Book | Search "Adopt a Rare Book", 1st result |
Privileges | Dropdown menus > About > Borrowing & Access Privileges |
Policies | Search "Policies," 2nd result |
Orbis | Homepage > Popular Resources |
PubMed@Yale | Homepage > Popular Resources |
Scopus | Homepage > Highlighted Resources |
Web of Science | Homepage > Highlighted Resources |

Remote Access | Homepage, upper right (click on "You are on the Yale network" or "you are NOT on the Yale network") |
Portals | Dropdown menu |
Department Liaisons | Dropdown menu > Services |
Request forms | Search "Request forms," 1st result |
The new homepage is scheduled to go live on the evening of Saturday, January 3, a time of the week when website use is particularly low. This will permit us to have the new homepage in place at the start of the winter semester.
As always, please contact me with questions and concerns. We are doing our best to make sure you don't get lost in the new interface, but if you do, remember you can ask a librarian for help.
