After months of hard work, we are delighted to officially announce the launch of our new website.

The Library website has been evolving organically over the years with ongoing integration of new services and software. Over time the website has grown too confusing, too complex and too difficult to navigate. There was a need for a complete redesign in order to make the website simpler to use, responsive for mobile devices, and reflective of the changing role that the Library plays in the University community.

So what’s new?

The new website has been optimised for smart phones and tablets, allowing staff and students to access the Library content on the go. But that’s not all. It has a simplified navigation and clear visual hierarchy, prioritising the most frequently used features. It has consistent, intuitive and clear labelling to enable easy access to study and research materials. It highlights new library services. Finally, the new website makes it easier and quicker to find what you need wherever you are.

The new look and structure of the website is based on in-depth interviews with staff and students, and extensive user testing of the prototype. We are grateful to all involved, including Library staff who worked tirelessly to finalise the website in time for Semester 2.

We look forward to hearing any questions, suggestions, feedback or comments about the new website.
