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 https://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.
