The resources UCSD students, faculty and staff need are now easier to locate using the redesigned UCSD Libraries website at http://libraries.ucsd.edu. Our site features Sage, a selection of the best websites, databases, electronic journals, dissertations and other materials for research and instructional needs. UCSD's academic disciplines are featured in this comprehensive collection of websites. The new site also provides easy, consistent links to ROGER and the California Digital Library Databases. Information on hours, locations, and services for all the libraries is now all together in one place.

The libraries website emphasizes high quality research tools. General search engines like Google or AltaVista do not provide access to most scholarly publications. Why spend hours sorting through hundreds or thousands of search engine results, many of which are duplicates, irrelevant or unreliable? The new site includes subject-based search tools with links to thousands of full-text publications that the Libraries have purchased for your use. Materials unavailable on campus can be obtained by using Web-based request forms.

The new design is based upon ongoing usability testing with you - our audience of UCSD faculty, students and staff. If you would like to participate in the continuing development of the libraries web site, or if you have any comments or suggestions, please use the e-mail feedback links located on each page. User feedback has been invaluable in helping us to fine tune the Libraries' new site, and we look forward to hearing your opinion.
