Library home page changes scheduled for August!
Changes to the University Libraries home page http://library.uncg.edu are scheduled for early August.
IT personnel are nearing the end of a thorough process involving review of use statistics, usability testing, card sort exercises, etc.
I don't have any visuals to share, but I did see a mock up during an internal feedback session (looked great to me!). The version that I saw kept most of the links that are currently located on the home page. Duplicate links were definitely removed, there was some consolidation of links that currently live in the left navigation bar, plus rearrangement and overall design changes.
Looking forward to seeing what we get!
