The SEMLS Web site has a new look. We launched our newly-redesigned Web site today with new features to make it a useful resource for members. Some new things you'll find on our site include:

• A SEMLS Community section, where members can interact with each other to share ideas and challenges.


• A Resource Shelf, where members can find professional support materials, grants and awards, and other resources to assist them in their libraries.


• More photos of members participating in SEMLS programs.


• RSS feeds for regional news and conversations.
