New Library Home Page

The Oviatt Library launched its new home page today. It features a “Quick Links” section that points to frequently used services and collections, a tabbed search form from which you can search our catalog, selected databases, digital collections, and the web site, and a highlighted “News” area.  Only the home page itself has changed — we anticipate that the tools and links provided will make the Library’s services and collections easier to discover.  Please give us your feedback using the Library Webmaster email form.
