WLA's Blog Has Moved!

WLA has a new website at http://wla.wisconsinlibraries.org and a new blog.


Some features of the site include:

• New design to improve overall look and usability of site (in case you didn't notice)
• New sections on careers and marketing
• Search box to help you find what you need
• Better organization of favorites, like the WLA Literary Awards winners
• Improved integration with MyWLA - your online profile and other features from MemberClicks

Because the site is built in Joomla!, an open-source content management system, it will be easier to make changes in the future. We look forward to your feedback to help us improve usability, select new features and build content.

Take our quick MyWLA poll about your first thoughts.

If you have comments about things you like, ideas for improvements, or questions about some aspect of the site, please use the comments feature of this blog article. Or, email Lisa Strand, WLA Executive Director, at strand@wisconsinlibraries.org.

Stay tuned for more improvements and added features in the coming months.
