Shields Library is closed through January 1. Requests for books, digitization services, and interlibrary loan will be fulfilled after the new year.
Redesigned Library Website Coming August 16
We are excited to announce that a newly redesigned library website is just a few short weeks away! Launching Tuesday, August 16, the new site will help you get the information you need faster, and make it easier to take full advantage of the library’s wide array of research collections, resources and services.
The new site will feature a streamlined homepage, improved search functionality, and new menus focused on the library tasks you need to do — whether it’s research, teaching, exploring our collections, or looking for a place to study. We have also deepened our commitment to ensuring the site meets accessibility standards to best serve all library users.
The reimagined site is driven by findings from extensive user testing, site analytics, peer analysis and interviews with librarians and library teams. The new site is also informed by the library’s DEI-focused, five-year strategic plan finalized earlier this year.
We invite you to check back on August 16 and explore the new site.
