MyUB Simplification Project (2005-06)

Based on extensive feedback, testing, and research, the MyUB portal was made leaner and easier to navigate. New features were added including an enhanced search engine, announcements channel, and user profile, as well as more direct linkage to other systems like UBlearns, course schedules, and the library catalog.
