We're working hard on a major facelift for the Libraries' website (http://library.wustl.edu), making it more intuitive and bringing the major search functions together on the homepage. We plan to release it later this week - stay tuned! After the site itself, we'll put the new look-and-feel in place on all our services, such as the catalog, Find it, Get it!, etc. These changes will be made over the next few weeks.
