The Center for Research Libraries released its redesigned Web site on October 12. The new site reflects a complete overhaul of all major sections to enhance support and service to the CRL community. The FOCUS on Global Resources newsletter, News & Events, Topic Guides, and Digital Collections features were reformatted and reorganized to make CRL resources and services easier to find and use. RSS feeds are now also available to users who want to receive the latest CRL updates.

The new site also provides landing pages that collect Web resources important to user groups such as librarians, researchers, and prospective members. New URL paths are easier to read and remember. Although the most-used URLs from the previous site are redirected to their new location, we encourage everyone to update their personal bookmarks and institutional Web site links.

The new site is available at www.crl.edu. We invite comments and suggestions from members of the CRL community using the Feedback link located at the bottom of each page.
