Creating a Better Future for Children Through Libraries
WEB SITE UPDATE ALERT!
In fall 2008, ALA will unveil a redesigned Web site that is the culmination of two years of gathering information from focus groups, interviews, usability tests, surveys, and other feedback loops. ALSC’s Web site will also be redesigned to follow the new ALA site structure as closely as possible.
From August 1 until ALA’s new Web site is launched, ALSC is unable to make changes to its Web pages. However, existing content will remain live, and breaking news will continue to update on the ALA home page. In addition, the ALSC-L electronic discussion list and blog will continue to offer current information. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. The target date of the launch is early September.
We invite you to preview the site's new look at www.ala.org/preview, and to see ALSC’s work in progress at http://staging.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alsc/alsc.cfm. We are excited about these changes and expect they will greatly enhance your ALA Web experience!
Please contact the ALA Library at library@ala.org (or 800-545-2433, x2153) if you need assistance locating specific content or updates during our migration.
