view larger image

Coming in January 2010, the library website will have a new look, designed to provide better access to information and resources, including the numerous electronic databases, journals, special collections, and media owned by the library.

Take a sneak peak at our new design at http://aok.lib.umbc.edu/beta/. Please note: many of the links on this site will point to the current website, while other links are not active. Links in bold type will display in the new design.

Key features of the new design include:
* Library Services pages for all audiences.
* Enhanced Quick Search box - search for books, media, articles, journals, databases, and much more.
* Smaller banner to allow more space for page content.

Please send any comments or suggestions to Janet Hack at jhack@umbc.edu
