This summer was a busy one!
After more than a year of intensive preparation with our consortium partners at Connecticut College and Trinity College, Wesleyan’s library staff implemented a new library system and discovery tool to replace the former library catalog. OneSearch is now the primary place to search for records of library materials, both print and electronic, and to discover and access journal articles, images, databases, and all types of library publications.

The whole Wesleyan library website was updated as part of the campus-wide program to update the Wesleyan website to a responsive design that would work well on phones and tablets as well as larger computer screens. Rather than just change the programming in the background so the site adjusted to different screen sizes, we took the opportunity to revise and reorganize the content and navigation. If you have any comments, email reference@wesleyan.edu.
For most of the summer the front of the library was swathed in scaffolding while workers replaced the slate roof and completed other much needed maintenance, such as repairing the masonry.
Thanks to John Wareham for photos early in the process and to Olivia Drake for sharing them!
