A New HS/HSL Website Coming Soon

Coming in October, the HS/HSL website will have a new look and mobile functionality.  An updated responsive design will automatically adjust the website to fit on any mobile device screen. It is also optimized for high pixel density screens, such as Apple’s Retina™ displays.

A modern style and streamlined organization make the new website easy to use. Based on usage statistics that identified the most accessed pages and most clicked links, content has been rewritten and reorganized so that faculty, students, and staff can quickly access needed resources and services. The popular OneSearch has been relocated to a more prominent position on the homepage, and a new Research Support section has been created.

Because of the reorganization of content, the new website will redirect old pages to their new counterparts where possible, but there is a chance that saved bookmarks may no longer work.  Also note that the following browsers and their predecessors will no longer be supported: Internet Explorer 7, Firefox 3.5, and Safari 3.

Watch for the new and improved website!
