UNB Libraries - Website Refresh

This news post is more than one year old. Some information may have changed.

UNB Libraries has updated its homepage design and navigational menu.

The new look features

  • more and larger images
  • a streamlined primary search box that’s front-and-centre on the page
  • more ways to connect to library services like Ask Us, Research Data Management, and Digital Publishing
  • a larger and more prominent Library News and Features section
  • a welcome message from the Dean of Libraries

None of the library’s popular website features have been removed, but some have been redesigned. The library’s subject and course guides, for example, are still there and function the same as before, but now, instead of accessing them from a long list on the homepage, there’s a pull-down menu that sits right below the primary search box.

The main navigational menu has been completely redesigned. It now covers services and spaces offered more broadly, making it easier to find what you’re looking for throughout the site.

Other changes include improved keyboard navigation and accessibility, and enhanced mobile and tablet views.

We hope you love the updates as much as we do!

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
