New Library Gateway launched

The new UIUC Library Gateway has been launched, replacing the old gateway page.

The INHS Library website can be reached from the "Find a Library" link in the left navigation bar, which leads to a complete list of departmental libraries and their hours and locations.

There are some useful new features you may want to try. The Journal and Article Locator offers a single place to search to find online full text for specific articles and print copies of journals in the UIUC Library. The Easy Search box provides one-stop topical searching across dozens of digital and print resources, including journal databases, newspapers, books, media.

Users are encouraged to send comments to the Gateway Conversion Team gateway_conversion@library.uiuc.edu
