A message from Faculty Technology Liaison Jeremy Donald

Greetings!
You may have noticed that the library website, lib.trinity.edu, has a new look. This updated design improves the accessibility of library resources and services, and expands our ability to offer new tools and features in order to meet the evolving needs of our users. With a structure and layout based on extensive usability research with library patrons, it also reflects the recent changes to the look and feel of www.trinity.edu. There are many new features we’d like you to know about, and we’ve put together a brief tour of them, along with a tip sheet which will help you find your way around the new site.

Here are a few highlights, along with the urls to include in syllabi and update your bookmarks:

Enhanced Citing Sources page  URL: http://lib.trinity.edu/lib2/cite.php
Assignment Calculator & Research Tools  URL: http://lib.trinity.edu/lib2/skills.php
Library FAQ  URL: http://libanswers.trinity.edu/browse.php
Databases  URL: http://lib.trinity.edu/lib2/dbs.php
Information Literacy URL: http://lib.trinity.edu/lib2/lib_instruct.php

You may discover that something you could easily find on the old site doesn’t seem to be readily available on the new one. While we have put considerable effort into preventing such an inconvenience, this is likely to happen a time or two as we put the finishing touches on the new site in the next. For this reason, the old site is still available online, in its entirety, at http://lib.trinity.edu/index_old.shtml. From the new site, just click the “Welcome to our new site!” link in the middle of the page, then look for the “Visit The Old Library Website” link in the upper right of the page.

More about the site’s new design can be found at http://lib.trinity.edu/lib2/new_site.php. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know: jdonald@trinity.edu<mailto:jdonald@trinity.edu, ext. 8176

Thanks, and welcome back!
