User centred design

As a user of our website, you want to find a fast answer to your question. Our aim is for you to take an average of three steps to reach the relevant service or support information of the University Library you might need.

New look and feel

The target groups were redefined into Study, Teach and Research and the top menu was adjusted. Some of the menu options are new:

  • Under ‘Visit’ you will find all information you need to visit our locations.
  • ‘Resources’ is an overview of all available online and physical materials and also more information about the resources and collections. On the homepage, we offer a quick access button to LibSearch.
  • Under ‘Apps & tools” you will find UM and faculty applications and tools that support study, education and research for UM staff and students.

Result

We are satisfied with the result and the improvements we made. We will continue working on maintaining the clear layout and improving the accessibility of the Online Library. We hope you will like the new design and will quickly find your way again on the website.
