New Library Web Site

The library’s new web site debuted on January 3, 2005. The new web page address is: http://library.richmond.edu/, so you will need to change bookmark and link addresses for the library’s resources. Users will find the same content on the site, but we hope the new layout will make it easier to find our sources and services. If you have any further questions on how to navigate the site, please contact Lucretia McCulley, Head, Outreach and Instruction Services.
