How to navigate COM Library's Pages

COM Library wants to make the navigation of its pages as easy as possible and has included several ways for users to do this. Click on the numbered sections of the interactive image below to see descriptions, or simply scroll below the image.

Navigate COM Library's Web
(interactive image--click on numbers)
COM Library Home Page COM Library Banner Section Main Links Section Quick Links Section Site Map Section Information Section Explore & Learn Section What's New Section Google COM Library Home Page Links

  1. Use the COM Library Banner
    Click on the COM Library banner at the top of any COM Library page to return to COM Library's home page. Back to Image.

  2. Google COM Library
    You can search all the hundreds of COM Library pages to find what you're looking for using Google. You should know that this searches only the library's web pages, not the library's catalog or databases; the pages in the catalog and databases are dynamically generated and are not permanent. Back to Image.

  3. Use the Main Links 
    At the top of all COM Library pages are links to the main categories: Articles, Books, Internet, How to..., Ask a Librarian and COM's home page. Back to Image.

  4. Use the Quick Links
    Quick Links, available at the top of every COM Library page, lists COM's most popular pages, including COMCat, the Research Tutorial and more. Us this pull-down menu to make your selection and hit Go to get to your page. Back to Image.

  5. Use the Site Map
    The Site Map is available from the Quick Links already mentioned. Since it lists all COM Library pages--organized by main category with all sub categories below--it's worth mentioning separately. This can be a great place to go if you get really lost. Back to Image.

  6. Use Information
    From almost every COM Library page Library Information links (hours, contacts) will appear on the left hand side of the Page. On some pages there may also be Related Links.

    .

  7. Use breadcrumbs
    Breadcrumbs are located on almost every COM Library page, below the main links. For every page you visit these links reflect both the current page and previous, related pages in the hierarchy of the library's web site. For example, the breadcrumbs for the database page would be: COM Library > Find Articles > Databases. The main page does not display breadcrumbs because it's at the top of the hierarchy, but on other library pages, this is where they will be located. Back to Image.

  8. Use Library @ COM Blog
    From almost every COM Library page, the blog will appear on the left side of the page. It highlights library news, upcoming events, HotSpots and New Books. Back to Image.

  9. Use the Home Page Links
    And last but not least, use the home page links: Find Articles, Find Books, Find Internet, and How To... Each of these links includes the most popular links under that category. Back to Image.
