Launch of New Library Homepage on 2 August 2004
   
The library is moving to a new homepage on Monday, 2 August 2004. Behind the refreshing new design, we have integrated a host of enticing features to make your browsing experience more personalized and convenient.

To sign-in to the library portal, all you need is your NUSNET identification. Once you are logged in to the portal, you will be seamlessly authenticated to other library services such as myLINC, library proxy and electronic forms. Information from your library record are displayed once you are signed in. The portal sign-in also enables you to access the eResources by authenticating you to our proxy server with a single click. Electronic forms for library services are pre-populated with your particulars to save time.

Another attractive feature of the library portal is personalization. You can select from our extensive list of subject categories to indicate your areas of interest. Your preferences will be stored in your profile so that only the News, Events, New Book Arrivals and eResources which match your profile will be displayed.

With all these features, we hope to bring you one-stop borderless access and timely delivery of service and information. The current library homepage will be closed on 15 August 2004.
