Of course it works. It's supposed to work. Pam.

Subject: RE: OT, Important new BARD information
Hi all,
I just went to the old BARD website because the link given in the letter
said that the site was not found. The old BARD link worked just fine. Go
figure. I am going to call my state library tomorrow morning to see what is
going on.

Subject: OT, Important new BARD information
Hi all,
I don't know why I didn't receive this information from my state NLS
library. It was sent to me from another list. However, I tried the new
website and it says that the site is not found. Plus, the old BARD website
still works. So, go figure. I think that somebody's right hand doesn't know
what the left hand is doing. But here is the letter anyway.

Subject: Operations Alert 17-45 (New website launch)
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
d...@loc.gov<mailto:d...@loc.gov> and ms...@loc.gov<mailto:ms...@loc.gov>.
We will log and prioritize those changes we cannot make immediately so that
we can iterate on them continuously in the weeks to come.
