Welcome to the new VCU Libraries homepage!

VCU Libraries has a new Website for the coming year! Check out these new items as you're navigating through the site:

Changes to the homepage

Quick Links

Have no fear! Quick links are still on the homepage under "Top Resources." Click on the down arrow to find a listing of all Top Resources available from the homepage.

Looking for research toolkits or the Compass blog?

Click on the 'more>>' link under Research Help. Research help is a new section of the site that provides greater access to the libraries' instructional resources.

Learn more with a guided tour

Take a virtual tour of the homepage, or attend a brief tutorial session at Cabell Library.

New Website features

Tools & Gadgets

From the all-new Tools and Gadgets page, you can add the library catalog search widget to your iGoogle page, link to mobile sites for large databases such as PubMed, and access citation tools such as Refworks.

Mobile access to databases

Check out Databases A-Z! There is now an icon beside each database name for those databases that have mobile access.

New titles in the catalog

Click on all feeds from the homepage and then navigate to New Titles from the Libraries. You'll find a beta RSS feeds for new titles in four areas that you can use to notify when new titles in your subject come into the library. Check back later in the semester for many more subjects.

Search for DVDs or New Titles

Check out the DVDs/Film & New Titles links right in the homepage search box.

Need to ask a question?

The Ask a Librarian form is now linked from all over the site. For example, go to Ask Us and click on the link in the right column that says 'using our online form.'
