What are the new features of the new University Libraries website?
Answer
Bento Search - A single search box that pulls Articles, Books, Journals, the website, research guides, and Special Collections onto one page, with AI search, voice search, type-ahead suggestions, "more like this," one-click citations, and smart filters.
Live Occupancy - See in real time how busy each reading room and library space is right now, plus popular-times charts so you can pick a quieter hour to visit.
Events - A redesigned events system with a filterable card grid, "Add to Calendar," registration links, and library-specific event listings on each branch's page.
UI / UX - A fresh, modern redesign focused on improving the user experience, with a consistent look and a fully responsive layout that works smoothly across devices — desktop, tablet, and phone — plus accessibility (WCAG/ADA) improvements.
