Bringing Penn State Adult Students Together in a Global Learning Community
Summer Semester 2007

University Libraries' Home Page Redesigned for Ease of Use

The Penn State University Libraries' home page (http://www.libraries.psu.edu/) was recently redesigned to better meet users' needs. Based on testing and feedback from students, faculty, and staff, the improved home page now provides immediate access to the most commonly used library resources as well as effective tools for finding and using databases. Old favorites, like The CAT and the E-Resource List (A–Z), have not changed (although they may have moved slightly).

Users will also find easier access to subject-based resources and specialized materials, such as audio and video formats, statistics, and maps, as well as many Web pages developed by Penn State librarians.

In addition, users can now select the Find Databases link, which offers the options of searching for databases by keyword or subject category. The MultiSearch link, also on the home page, allows users to conduct simultaneous searches across a range of databases within a subject area. Users searching for databases will find that the new search options are a considerable improvement on the lengthy E-Resource List (A–Z).
