While our friends and fellow academics have getting ready for the start of a new term of teaching and research, the MEMSLib team have been working hard to make sure our digital resource library remains user-friendly and easy to navigate. After all, MEMSLib was designed to help researchers, and we want to make sure we’re doing just that. With that in mind, we are excited to announce that we will be trialling a new look for some of our pages over the coming months, as we work to streamline the site, to ensure that you can find the resource or research tool you’re after as quickly as possible. So without further ado, let us introduce you to the new appearance of our Medieval Languages resource pages: |

New to MEMSLib: Medieval Languages homepage |

|
Our vision for the new look of MEMSLib is that our longer resource pages should be split into groups of sub-pages, allowing for a cleaner layout and ease of navigation, giving you a clearer path to head straight to the resources you need. We are trialling this with our Medieval Languages, which we have now divided into language groups, each of which has their own page (and an eye-catching new button): |
|
|
Each of these pages also allows you to navigate between language resources, either within or across pages. |

If you're struggling to get to grips with Latin, our resource page now has a new look - our editor, Dr David Rundle, has divided his Latin language resources into groups for a more intuitive learning experience. Browse his guide to learning medieval Latin, list of online Latin dictionaries, or databases of specialist vocabularies here: |

As part of our mission to build an online resource library which speaks to the need of its researchers, we are committed to expanding the range of languages which MEMSLib covers. If you have experience of working with and in any language not covered by our Languages pages, spoken or written anywhere in the world between the fourth and seventeenth centuries, we would love to work with you! | | |

We're asking for your feedback! |
|
|
The new look for our Medieval Languages pages is a work in progress, and we would greatly benefit from your feedback as we look to following this format across the rest of our site. We have added a new feedback form to our website, and we would really appreciate your thoughts, comments, and suggestions for how to make our digital library work best for you. You can also stay in touch via email or Twitter, and we'll be back soon with more updates as we work towards a MEMSLib which is built for researchers globally. |
