New HathiTrust Interface Design
The HathiTrust Digital Library has released a new design and new features for its website. The new design incorporates feedback submitted by HathiTrust users and input from HathiTrust's User Experience and Communications working groups.

Some of the highlights include:

Look and feel - HathiTrust has been given a fresh, user-friendly design that unifies all parts of the website.
Accessibility - HathiTrust continues its tradition of style with function, paying particular attention to accessibility in major and minor functional components of the interface.
An engaging homepage - A consolidated search area and prominent links to user collections, hand-picked books, and the mobile interface, invite users to explore the HathiTrust collection. Links to social media, the HathiTrust Research Center, and HathiTrust projects provide updates on activities and invite engagement.
Login benefits - Users can now log in from anywhere on the site, and the login area of the homepage highlights the benefits of logging in to users from partner institutions.
Improvements to the reading interface - Our new online reading interface increases the amount of space available for reading books, while still keeping reading controls and bibliographic information readily accessible.
Persistent tabbed search box - Options for searching the bibliographic catalog and full-text of works have been combined into a single tabbed search, with help information to guide users in deciding which search to use. A persistent search header allows searches to be performed from any page on the website.

Here's a guide to HathiTrust designed just for Classical Studies. HathiTrust is a collaborative digital archive accessibly via MNCAT, the U of M Libraries catalog, or directly. Learn more at https://www.lib.umn.edu/howto/ebooks#H

Now when you search L'annee Philologique, you'll see the University of Minnesota's M wordmark and FindIt on a maroon button in each record. Clicking this button will automatically search for electronic versions of the listed item in the University Libraries' holdings. Give it a try!

In the above image the arrow on the upper right points to the FindIt button.
The lower arrow indicates the abbreviation for the journal name, the full title of which will be displayed if you mouse over the abbreviation.

Below shows an example of what FindIt offers as options - and saves you the steps of decoding the source title and searching in MNCAT or guessing at other possible locations such as JSTOR or Project MUSE. It searches all of our holdings in the order of accessibility.
