Very clear and short. Perhaps reverse the order in the list below. But, a nice start.

The gray bit over at the side is a little hidden, but provides most of what we want.

A nice layout that includes the most popular indexes plus the subject indexes. Also allows space for ILL and journal lists.

This is great. The popular databases along the side and nothing on the page except the choose a topic. Quite nice.

UIUC has a nice basics guide for articles.

I like some of the features of this site -- I'd like to see some user testing with those videos. Do students watch them? It's a nice idea, and much easier to produce and consume than a text-based description of the same thing. I also like the "circular process" motif. Nice.
