Website Re-design
We have taken advantage of the recent re-launch of the CILIP website to begin to redesign the Branch Website. This will be a gradual process and any feedback on the changes, or ideas for future features, would be welcome.
Two features that are already in place are:
1) The panel on the right of the page with links to the electronic version of 'Open Access' (the Branch Newsletter), the Branch Blog, Facebook page and twitter.
2) The 'Hidden Gems' feature which aims to highlight lesser known collections, within the West Midlands that Branch members feel deserve to be more widely known about. You can find the first two highlighted collections by following the Hidden Gems link in the left hand panel.
