WHSLA website: new look revealed!

You might remember there was a small group working to update the WHSLA website. This update included new logos and a new platform for the site. On behalf of the website committee, we're happy to share a draft of the new website and feedback form.

Our new logos and color scheme were designed by Ashley Ziedler. Ashley writes "This logo was designed to represent Wisconsin as well as health science themes that we encounter as librarians. We also have the square version of the logo which can be used when a smaller logo would best fit the intended format. In terms of color palette, I wanted to stick to a simple color scheme that also did not reflect one individual institution."

You'll find the new logos and color scheme on a live draft of the new website . If you have time to take a look, we'd love to hear your feedback. 

The website draft was created after looking at current WHSLA webpage content, peer state and regional HSL sites, and paring down what needs to be maintained. Here are a few changes we've made:

• WHSLA online files (archives and more) have been moved to DropBox from Google Drive
• Site will be transfered from Google Sites to DreamHost (WordPress hosting site)
•   Membership directory will be password-protected. You must be a current WHSLA member to view/download.
• Forms will be fillable online (Librarian of the Year, Library of the Year)

The draft site has a few more tweaks to make before making it live. We hope to have the updated site up and running within the next month.

A big thank you to the WHSLA website committee: Ashley Ziedler, Brenda Fay, Liz Suelzer, and Liz Witkowski for all their hard work getting the new site up and running. Thank you to Robert Koehler for helping get the account set up for the new site. 

Lastly, a big thank you to Jennifer Schramm, who has been the WHSLA webmaster for almost a decade. Once the new site is up, Liz Suelzer will be taking over the role of webmaster.
