"The new HOLLIS has a more intuitive interface," Smith said.

However, there have also been substantive changes inside the site. According to the website, when HOLLIS Plus was created it had only 17 electronic resources. Now, with over 1,300 resources, designers decided that the method of organization needed to be more than just alphabetical.

"It's now possible to limit just to 'biology electronic journals,' instead of scrolling through the entire list of electronic journals," Smith said.

The site offers features designed for students' convenience, she said.

"The 'Libraries: Hours' link presents an overall list of hours for all the libraries, so if someone just needs to find a library to work in on Sunday morning, we've made it easier," she said.

Another feature of the new site is the ease of accessing other libraries' sites.

"People may not realize that individual libraries provide many links on their own pages which are not listed at the HOLLIS site," Smith said. "The search feature provides a means for finding those additional resources."
