In addition to providing information and web pages, the Yale Universlity Library website supports the development of web-based applications. Applications differ from web pages by providing an interactive environment where the user can provide information to the site and receive tailored information, such as search results, or perform a transaction.
Some of the applications that are currently available include:
- Personal Librarian look-up
- Purchase request form
- Senior Exhibit Project Proposal
- Omeka Online Exhibition Proposal
- Digital collections search (title-level search)
Individual YUL staff can create their own web forms.
Requests for new web applications can be made by submitting a service request on the Library IT website. A valid NetID and explicit permissions are required to build your own webforms.
Web applications are accessed through the Yale University Library website. Some web applications require a valid Yale NetID to access.
This service is entirely web-based and only requires the use of a modern, latest-version web browser.
Individual web applications may have their own help files.
Some web applications have specific documentation. Additionally, documentation for developing web forms is available upon request from individuals with proper permission to build web forms.
The following policies apply to all Yale University Library website applications:
- Yale University Library Website Data Use policy
- Yale University Privacy Policy
- Yale University Web Accessibility Policy
- Publisher Take-down Notices
Other application-dependent policies may apply.
