Launch of New cIRcle Web Site
Today, we are pleased to announce the launch of our new web design for cIRcle, UBC’s Information Repository at http://circle.ubc.ca/ here at the University of British Columbia. New features and functions include:
Features:
- “Image Carousel” – striking images linked to news items
- “Did you know?” – quick facts about cIRcle
- “News” – latest cIRcle & UBC news highlights
- “Top 3 Items” – the three most frequently viewed cIRcle items
Functions (available since December 2009):
- “Statistical information” – see and/or track item page views & file downloads
- “Audiovisual streaming” – improved multimedia access
- “File conversion” – convert from one file format to another
- “Embargo feature” – access control management
- “Campus Wide Login (CWL)” – via Shibboleth authentication
- “Reporting Suite” – generate database usage reports
Who Re-designed the Site?
UBC Library staff worked closely with the Atmire company (atmire.com) to re-design the cIRcle website. We would like to thank our Atmire consultants, UBC Library Systems & Information Technology and the many UBC Library colleagues, supporters, and cIRcle end-users for their contributions.
Wanted: Your Feedback
