  1. Suggested Placement of WCL 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.

  2. 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) University of Washington

  3. Peninsula Library System in California: front page Note small, easy to place search box An option for secondary pages

  4. UC Davis example Basic search page This is where the campus-specific URL will take you

  5. Ohio State Note how OSU features both the WCL box and links to their primary catalog

  6. 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)

  7. UC Davis Great spot for UCD box

  8. UC Irvine Remove free resources and place the WCL box here

  9. UCLA Feature WCL instead of other announcements

  10. UC Merced Use the OSU model, WCL on top, then the UCM box

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

  12. UC San Diego Move catalog and e-resources to the right. Remove beyond UCSD. Place WCL to the far left.

  13. UCSF Move Galen down and place the WCL search box above

  14. UC Santa Barbara Replace off-campus login with WCL box place the proxy info immediately below.

  15. UC Santa Cruz Possible spot, no absolutely necessary search info in this area Renovation news could be moved closer to the giving section.

  16. 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?

  17. More locations for WCL Search Box • Front and center on each library website • Ex: http://lib.washington.edu/ • Ex: http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/sel/ • List on any catalog directory pages • Ex: http://www.lib.ucdavis.edu/ul/research • Ex: http://library.ucr.edu/?view=find/findbooks.html • List on any subject page that lists catalogs • Ex: http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/doemoff/econ/sources.html • Ex: http://www.lib.uci.edu/online/subject/subpage.php?subject=asian_studies • Place on Melvyl front page • More?
