New website, new user-friendly features

Your Library is pleased to announce the beta release of its new, improved website, with a new address:  http://library.utsouthwestern.edu. User-friendly features of the website include:

  • Drop-down navigation menu under the header allows users to find resources and Library services more efficiently.
  • New search section in the center allows users to find books, articles, or journal titles much quicker.  Users may also start a PubMed search to retrieve full-text articles, if available, through the or icons.
  • New search section also features searches in other Library websites (e.g., UT Southwestern Institutional Repository and UT Southwestern Archives Collection of digitized photos).
  • Your experience will be optimized regardless of the screen size you are using. We are using the latest web development technologies and techniques, including responsive web design approach. If you access the new website with a mobile device that has a screen size of 7 inches or less, you will be redirected automatically to the newly redesigned mobile website.

The new design is based on numerous usage statistics, usability studies, and client feedback gathered over the last 2-3 years. The selection and placement of content on the home page is determined by the resources and services our clients use the most.

We will be switching from the classic to the new website sometime in March 2013. Please visit your Library’s new website soon and let us know what you think.
