Dan,<br>
<br>
You may have seen our recent messages and presentations about "The
Next WebJunction". Since last winter, we've been working hard with
developers, designers, consultants, usability testers, and our partners to
get the site ready for a late summer launch. This past month, we've been
working on a private (invitation-only) beta site, tweaking the features and
making sure the content and courses are ready for our larger community
audience. <strong><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>The result
is an entirely new platform that includes new courses, easier contribution,
and new ways to connect with library colleagues.</span></strong> <br>
<br>
Over the weekend, we fully migrated all of our existing content,
discussions, and members, along with all of our new features, to the new
platform. We're inviting current WJ members to visit the new site, sign in,
and take it for a spin before we publicly announce the new platform later
this month. <br>
<br>
You'll find a short video presentation on the new homepage that reviews
highlights of the new platform and prompts you to sign in and update your
profile. This is the first step towards taking advantage of the new
features and functionalities. Some of the new features: <o:p></o:p></span></p>

In addition to the new WebJunction platform available to all users, Ohio
has joined WebJunction as a Community Partner. As a library staff member
working in Ohio, you're about to receive an enhanced version of the new
site with access to online courses sponsored by Ohio and custom content
created just for you. Now your work at WebJunction can help out library
staff in Ohio just as well as library staff from around the world. <br>
<br>
The State Library will be messaging the new WebJunction Ohio site to
everyone in the Ohio library community at the end of August, but we?d like
to ask you to login to the new site in the next two weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
