Suggested Placement of Suggested Placement of WCL Boxes/LinksWCL Boxes/Links

The following screens are meant to illustrate where WCL search boxes currently reside on operational library pages, and imagine where the search boxes would be most effective on UC-wide pages.

University of Washington

Standard WCL search Box

The Communication Team is suggesting that every campus feature this box on any Library web page entry point (i.e. any page that is considered a primary entry specific to the system or a library)

Peninsula Library System in California: front page

Note small, easy to place search box

An option for secondary pages

UC Davis example

Basic search pageThis is where the campus-specific URL will take you

Ohio State

Note how OSU features both the WCL box and links to their primary catalog

UC Berkeley

Suggest placing the UCB search box here

It is supported by the other catalogs listed above (may want to remove WCL from list)

UC Davis

Great spot for UCD box

UC Irvine

Remove free resources and place the WCL box here

UCLA

Feature WCL instead of other announcements

UC Merced

Use the OSU model, WCL on top, then the UCM box

UC Riverside

Move featured services down, quick search down, place WCL above UCR’s catalog. Like the OSU model

UC San Diego

Move catalog and e-resources to the right. Remove beyond UCSD.

Place WCL to the far left.

UCSF

Move Galen down and place the WCL search box above

UC Santa Barbara

Replace off-campus login with WCL box

place the proxy info immediately below.

UC Santa Cruz

Possible spot, no absolutely necessary search info in this area

Renovation news could be moved closer to the giving section.

CDL

Not convinced this is the best location for the system-wide access point. But if not here, where do we show off the ten-campus box?
