[TL-Directors] Newly designed State Library website coming soon!

[Darci Hanning]

Greetings and please pardon the duplicate postings!

The State Library is excited to announce that our new website will be going live soon! We have been working to simplify the navigation and structure to make it easy to find the content you most want to see, like applying for grants, getting help from consultants, and accessing statewide programs. Additionally, we have made several small but impactful changes, all geared toward making the website experience much better for users like you.

This project has been a year in the making, and if all goes according to plan the site is scheduled to go live in mid-September. URL redirects will be in place, so if you have any old pages bookmarked you will be sent to the comparable new pages. These redirects are only temporary though, so please update any bookmarks you have when the new website goes live.

We think you'll find our new website a big improvement, with a much more modern look and feel and enhanced, user-friendly functionality. In keeping with the theme of changes, Library Support staff will no longer update the Library and Information Science (LIS) Collection blog<https://osl-lis.blogspot.com/> because the same information is already available in the State Library's catalog<https://ccrls.ent.sirsi.net/client/en_US/oslpublic/> and in listserv and social media posts. The blog will remain online for a few years so that links to posts about specific titles still work.

Thank you for being part of our community. We will send out another message when the new website goes live.

Cheers,
Darci Hanning, MLIS
