New library website coming soon!
This summer, UVic Libraries is launching a brand-new website!
The new site shares its look & feel with other UVic websites, such as www.uvic.ca. It’s been completely redesigned to reflect the needs of students and faculty.
New site features
- Landing pages for students, researchers, and instructors, designed to help you access important information quickly
- Streamlined, simplified navigation and page design
- Content designed with accessibility top of mind
- All-new Indigenous resource hub to help highlight our unique local collections
Launch details
The new site will launch between June 30 and July 28. You don’t need to do anything to prepare. The new site will seamlessly replace the existing site on launch day.
Keep an eye on our current website: we will announce the exact launch date two weeks ahead.
After the launch, we will support the transition with tours of the new site. Tours for faculty and staff will happen in August. They will be offered in person and online. If you would like to receive a notification when sign-up is available, and we’ll keep you in the loop!
A design based on student & faculty needs
Over the past two years, we have connected with over 500 students, faculty, and staff to figure out how the UVic community uses our website. Feedback from 7 different research activities has helped us develop the new site’s content and structure.
This is a big change – and a long time in the making. Our goal is to make it easier for students and faculty to connect to important resources and services, and help you discover library resources you may not have heard about.
We’re excited to share it with you!
