Big changes are coming the library’s way in 2023, as we prepare to launch our new website! Our current website is built with the content management system (CMS) Drupal 7, which is nearing its end of life. Due to this future obsolescence, the library is migrating its web content to Drupal 9 and then to Drupal 10 soon after. This project has been an enormous undertaking but also an important one that will provide extended security support and aesthetic updates to our website.

With the launch of the new website, the overall look and feel of lib.jjay.cuny.edu will undergo some changes, including some navigational and interface updates. For example, the website’s information architecture has been audited and rearranged. This update is illustrated in our new main menu. Users can navigate to our pages through the main navigation bar’s new categories: “About,” “Visit & Study,” “Find & Borrow,” “Research Support,” “Faculty Services,” and “Help.” Additionally, the homepage has undergone some design updates, including a new carousel slideshow, graphic icons, and background images.

Before the January launch, a preview link to the new website will appear on lib.jjay.cuny.edu. The Lloyd Sealy Library prioritizes our users and their need to access library resources as seamlessly as possible. Please check out the changes, and email any comments or suggestions to our Web and Emerging Technologies Librarian, Kate Cauley, at kcauley@jjay.cuny.edu.
