Dear readers, the blog will experience a brief hiatus as we prepare to launch the new NYPL website. That's right, the Library is about to receive a massive digital makeover, the first chapter in a long journey ahead of improvement and innovation. Among the many exciting changes soon to come will be a far more prominent role throughout the site for staff blogging. This marks the end of the pilot phase. The Digital Experience team would like to heartily thank all the brave and brilliant librarians and curators who were our 'early adopters.' They're still scribbling away intently behind the scenes, preparing to resume posting as soon as the new site deploys. Many new voices will also soon join the fray. Thanks in advance for your patience, and check back soon for more news about the new NYPL.org!
