NPR (National Public Radio) Unveils Website Redesign
Hot off the presses, word that a complete overhaul of the National Public Radio website at NPR.org is now live. The new site looks great (we viewed the video tour linked to below). Site search (which has been in beta for a while) should work better. It's now powered by the Google Search Appliance.
One feature that info pros will love? How do free program transcripts sound? For the first time transcripts for many NPR programs will be available at no charge.
For the socially minded, a new embeddable media player will let you place NPR content you select on webpages blogs, etc.
Finally, it's worth mentioning that the NPR Library blog, "As a Matter of Fact" continues to be updated. ResourceShelf is honored to be listed on the blogs blogroll. If you've never visited or haven't visited in a while, you should stop by. An RSS feed is also available and we wouldn't be surprised to see a library Twitter feed sometime soon.
