In January the Biomedical Library introduced a completely revamped website to the University of South Alabama community. The site has been redesigned to maximize ease
of access as well as tie in to the University’s new overall online
rebranding. While most of the old
content remains, in addition to new content as well, the page has been
rearranged to offer quicker access to top resources.
On the right-hand side of the page principal navigation
links can be found in drop-down menus under the “Home” link. These menus include “Library Resources,”
“Library Services,” “About the Library,” and “Ask a Librarian.” The “Library Resources” menu contains links
to the library’s databases & resources, subject guides and Southcat catalog
in addition to other research tools. The
“Library Services” menu includes links to library instruction, interlibrary
loan and faculty services. “About the
Library” contains links to library hours, the staff directory and the library’s
newsletter, Biofeedback. “Ask a
Librarian” takes you to the reference chat page, which also lists all the ways
you can contact the Biomedical reference librarians.
Directly below and on the left-hand side of the search box
is a list of the most frequently used databases as well the “View All
Resources” link, which takes you to an annotated list of all Biomedical Library
databases. To the right is a partial
list of Subject Guides created by the biomedical librarians to help users
quickly identify the best resources for their topic of interest. These include Nursing Resources, Medicine
Resources, Mobile Resources, and Writing & Citation Help, as well as other
relevant topics.
The page is designed to provide easy and direct access to
the resources most commonly used by the Biomedical Library’s users. If you are unable to find a resource or
information that you used before please contact the library by chat, phone or
email from our Ask a Librarian page.
