New Look for the Home Page Search Box

Today, we are updating the library home page with a redesigned search box that offers easier and more intuitive access to key library resources students and faculty want. Featuring a more modern, clean look, this new design draws on insights gained from a year’s worth of research into the preferences and habits of our users. With their participation in three rounds of usability testing, Baruch students played a central role in shaping the look and feel of the search box.

A drop-down menu in the new design offers a clearer set of search options (as well as a few new choices):

We hope you’ll give it a try and share with us any feedback you have about the new look.
