Hi folks
I am forwarding this as it relates to many here
From what i can gather the old website will be gradually retired #. However
you can reach the new site with the same URL but the site will be different
but all your stuff should be the same so read on folks

I've been waiting for someone to post this here, but not so far. Someone sent
it to the DB Review list and I'm just passing it along.

NLS Operations Alert No. 17-45
DATE : July 7, 2017
TO : Network Libraries
FROM : David Pelizzari, Acting
Head, Publications and Media
SUBJECT : New website launch
The new NLS website is currently scheduled to go live at the longstanding NLS
URL of www.loc.gov/nls<http://www.loc.gov/nls>
this coming Sunday, July 9th. There will be no change to the URL for the
homepage. Your bookmarks to the longstanding NLS URL for the homepage will
still function correctly and take you to the new site. The longstanding URL
for BARD login will also remain exactly the same. No changes have been made to
BARD or the NLS catalog. The site has also undergone repeated accessibility
and screen reader testing here at NLS and out in the field.
Please be aware of the following issues and activities during the switchover
period of three days, from Sunday the 9th through Tuesday the 11th.
1. The old website-the one we're all familiar with-will continue to exist
through October (at least) and our patrons can continue to use it while they
gradually become familiar with the new site.
Its URL, however, will change: the old site will no longer be at
www.loc.gov/nls<http://www.loc.gov/nls>, but rather at
www.loc.gov/nlsold<http://www.loc.gov/nlsold>. There will be a prominent link
on the homepage of the new website-on the left-hand side, under the box of
"Quick Links"-so that patrons can jump back to the homepage of the old website
if they wish to.
If they are on the old site, there will be an equally prominent link so they
can jump to the new site.
2. On the new website, the "Search" field at the right top edge will be
optimized only once the switch of URLs is made on Sunday and Monday. For that
reason, it may be a couple days before it is fully functioning. Patrons can
use built-in navigation on the new site to find what they are looking for
during this brief period. We appreciate your patience during the time required
for the "Search" to become fully optimized for searching the new site.
3. During the same three-day period, for the most visited areas of our
website, we will be embedding new internal URLs and redirected URLs so that
patrons can easily find what they are looking for. Again, we appreciate your
patience as this process is completed.
4. We will be grateful for your feedback about any issues you encounter, or
suggestions you can make. Please send them to
dpel@xxxxxxx<mailto:dpel@xxxxxxx> and mschw@xxxxxxx<mailto:mschw@xxxxxxx>. We
will log and prioritize those changes we cannot make immediately so that we can
iterate on them continuously in the weeks to come.
