Notice something a little different at cslib.org? We’ve been “refreshing” the look of our web pages. We’ve added more persistent and consistent navigation aids in the form of menus at the top of most of our web pages. This is just the beginning of our work to improve the usability and management of our site. If you have any suggestions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you. You can either comment on this blog entry, at the CSL Webmaster’s Forum blog, (comments are moderated to avoid spam, so there may be a short delay in the appearance of your comment on the forum) or you can send email to webmaster@cslib.org. Thank you for visiting!
