(Testers must allow enough time to complete tests within business hours.)

Students and staff who are enrolled in a South Dakota Board of Regents institution (South Dakota public universities) and are not enrolled in the above programs, have access to testing centers at the SDBOR home campuses and the University Center in Sioux Falls. The University Center is located at:

Wegner Library implements new discovery system


The Wegner Library is implementing a new integrated library services system. This system will enhance library services and better connect the Wegner partners and community users to the information resources and digital tools they need.
The cloud-based system will improve discovery, allowing students, faculty and staff to better refine search strategies, as well as provide analytics and more simplified and efficient staff workflows. 
Look for the change to be in effect in August. The main search/discovery interface will be available at usd.edu/library/wegner

What will this mean for me?
The interface for locating, accessing and obtaining resources will change in August. Many new features will allow for better discovery of the Wegner Library's virtual and print collections. 

What resources will I find in Wegner's Library One Search?
You will be able to find scholarly and peer-reviewed articles, books and e-books, journals, dissertations, music, videos, government documents, newspaper articles, reviews and digital library content. 

Where can I get help navigating the new system?
For more information on how to use the new Library One Search, please see our Primo/LibraryOne Search Library Guide or Ask a Wegner Librarian for help.
