From library, campus, and regional maps to the San Diego St. OPAC (they're using AirPac). Those with a login, password, and PIN can login and check their library record.
You'll also notice a journal finder and citation finder. Also has the largest collection of mobile friendly web interfaces we've seen, We also really like how they've worked hard trying to make finding easier by hyperlinking each letter of the alphabet to the section of resources and databases that begin with that letter. Of course, this assumes that the user knows what they're looking for
The same "alphabet" concept is available for course guides, research guides, and the directory of library personnel. Finally, a mobile friendly list of library departments with department name, location, and phone number is available. Clicking on a department name takes you to info about those who work in that department.
Finally, as you would expect library hours, news, phone number, and an email address.
Excellent work. Perhaps in the next release they'll make the actual site searchable since many just like to take them time to browse for an answer. We wouldn't be the least bit surprised to allow chat with reference librarians when more features are released. The only other thing we would love to see here and at just about everywhere else is an audio tour of the library. This way students can learn about what is and is not available, where various resources are located, etc. at their own pace and replay sections from the audio if necessary.
