Tour SCUA's New Webspace!

Take a tour of SCUA's spot on the Library's dazzling new website! We are excited for the Library's new look, and we want to take you on a tour of our new space. First, take a look at the new lightbox feature at the bottom of each news post. This gallery of images will accompany each post, and allow us to give you a deeper look at some of collections, services, and tools we feature on our blog. On our Home page, you can get a glimpse of some of our featured collections in the revolving image box--just click on "Read more" to see details about that collection. Near the bottom of the Home page, you'll see a feed to this blog--watch this space for frequent new content! Next, check out About the Collections to explore overviews of our Print Collections, Manuscript and Archival Collections, University Archives, Graphic and Ephemera Collections, and Digital Collections. Then take a look at Using the Collections, watch our orientation video, and read over our Reading Room Guidelines before your visit.

Check out our Exhibits section for a glimpse of current exhibits and events, and browse our Online Exhibits for engaging, in-depth, multimedia experiences with some of our collections. Browse our Research Tools to find our materials in the Library Catalog or Finding Aid Database, or by subject in our multiple Research Guides. Our new Online Materials page gathers in one spot all of our content available to you online, including University Publications, Manuscript and Archival Collections (new! More about that next week), extensive Oral Histories, and Online Exhibits. Explore our instruction and duplication possibilities under Services, and use our new webform to Ask a Question without sending an email. To see our current hours, look to the left of the main space, and to see our contact info, scroll to the bottom. We're so pleased to have a new look for the new school year. Please give us your feedback!

(SCUA will continue to post here for a little while, but soon all of our New and Notable content will be featured solely on SCUA's new website.)
