[OPLINLIST] All links and logos associated with HomeworkNow or ReadThisNow should be removed from websites

[McDevitt-Stredney, Marsha]

Please excuse multiple postings...



It has come to our attention that a number of websites still promote and/or link to HomeworkNow and ReadThisNow, services formerly offered in conjunction with KnowItNow24x7. HomeworkNow.org and ReadThisNow.org are no longer registered domains (URLs) associated with KnowItNow24X7<http://www.knowitnow.org/>. Using these URLs now may send users to websites that are not associated with library services and may contain offensive content for many and inappropriate text and images for anyone under 18.



In 2010 KnowItNow24X7 absorbed services associated with HomeworkNow.org and ReadThisNow.org. Registration for the two domain names (URLs) continued for several years and when someone used the URLs for HomeworkNow.org and ReadThisNow.org they were redirected to KnowItNow.org.  The redirect is no longer possible because the domain names are registered to someone else.



Although most libraries have already done so, this message is a reminder that all links and promotional icons or logos associated with HomeworkNow or ReadThisNow should be removed from websites and all print materials should be discarded.



Current information and up-to-date promotional items for KnowItNow24x7, including the current logo, are available for libraries to download at: http://community.knowitnow.org/content/marketing-materials.
