The Electronic Journals A-to-Z has been re-styled for the new term, using the University of Lincoln’s Common Web Design (CWD) elements.
There are a few elements that still need tweaking (mainly the padding/margins of various elements and the display of the A-to-Z’s search buttons), but I’m quite pleased with how it’s turned out. It complements nicely the look of the new reading lists system.

I still need to apply the same or similar branding to our link resolver.
The new look was created using EBSCO’s A-to-Z branding features, which allow you to paste additional HTML (taken from the CWD example blank template) into the header and footer of the A-to-Z template. I then had to add a small amount of extra CSS to get various page elements to display nicely, and to overwrite some of EBSCO’s own fonts and colours.
The Electronic Journals A-to-Z provides access to more than 94,000 full-text e-journals (both via Library subscription and free/Open Access) at the University of Lincoln.
The Common Web Design is the presentation for the University of Lincoln’s online services. Developed with HTML5 and CSS3 technologies, the Common Web Design enables rapid development of beautiful, interactive and modern websites and is optimised with speed, accessibility and progressive enhancement in mind.
