New Library Website

To begin the New Year the University Libraries launched its new website (http://library.albany.edu) on January 14, 2009. Based upon “Durpal,” a popular open source content management system, the revamped site has been developed based on three premises:

  • Faster access
  • Fewer clicks to resources
  • Improved navigation methodologies with a consistent look and feel

Some additional new features you will find on the main portal’s site page include:

  • Ask a Librarian (“Ask reference librarians questions using IM, text, e-mail, and more…”)
  • Easy connectivity to tutorials, tours, and tips for research
  • Improved access to databases, journals, UA delivery services
  • A virtual portal to our ever-burgeoning online resources and services.

The previous version of University Libraries’ website will continue to be available throughout the semester, which can be accessed from a link near the bottom of the new, improved site. Please be aware, however, that content of the old site will no longer be updated.

Finally, we are eager to know what you think about the changes. As with all library services, we are committed to better access for our users and are constantly interested in thoughtful comments and feedback (http://library.albany.edu/comments).
