[Michlib-l] MCLS launches new website

[Elaine Meyer]

Good afternoon everyone, 

After much hard work, MCLS is very pleased to announce the FULL launch of 
our newly redesigned website, www.mcls.org!

New features 
We are excited to offer many new and improved features on the new MCLS 
website:
Redesigned homepage - the homepage has been redesigned to be better 
organized and more intuitive, so you can find the information you need 
quickly. In addition, with the news photos and targeted news feeds, you 
can more easily stay on top of the latest news, special offers, and 
training classes from MCLS.
Streamlined navigation - a trimmed down and more straightforward 
navigation to get you where you need to go quickly.
Improved site search - the new site search will help you find what you 
need fast.
Product Search - find eResources and products much more easily through 
searching by product type, library type and/or keyword.
Upcoming Training & Events - the Training & Events list is now more 
intuitive, scannable and easier to use.

Melba Moose
You might notice the absence of Melba Moose from our new site - Melba 
decided it was time for retirement. She's now spending her days basking in 
the sunshine at Potter Park Zoo, just a few miles down the street from the 
MCLS offices in Lansing. (Her retirement name is 'Willow'). Please wish 
her well in retirement, and stop by Potter Park Zoo to say hello!

Online survey
During the next two weeks, please take a few minutes to check out the new 
MCLS website and let us know what you like, any bugs you might find, 
suggestions for improvement, and what else you might like to see via this 
online survey. We would love your feedback to help us make the new site 
even better.

We hope that you find the new MCLS website a pleasurable experience!

Sincerely,

Elaine Meyer
