Library jargons were replaced with simple, everyday language. Other students preferred the updated site because of its clear and simple layout. The current site, however, maintains the traditional maroon and gold colors, simple graphics and basic fonts. Graduate students in the focus groups were more concerned with the site's efficiency than with its visual appeal. Texts can be retrieved from more than thirty libraries on the Twin Cities campus.
Students can also renew books and view electronic publications online.
More than 1,200 published books and hundreds of electronic journals are available in full-text version online. The limitation, however, is that only one person at the University can view a particular book at one time. The Minnesota Daily, all rights reserved.
