Project Summary

The School of Visual Arts library serves the interests of both faculty and students in their pursuit of collaborative, academic research. Due to COVID-19, these in-person locations have limited hours so the library’s website is central to serving the student and faculty on an ongoing and accessible basis virtually. The library website was recently migrated to a new platform in order to be integrated with the rest of the SVA website. Overall, the goal of our project was to identify the ways that the SVA library’s redesigned site could maximize its efficiency and accessibility before being fully migrated to the new platform.
