National Library of Medicine’s (NLM) redesigned site

The NLM announces a redesigned site (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/) today.  Here is their information about their redesign, or you may read about it at their press release http://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/nlm_site_change_2011.html:

‘…The NLM homepage (www.nlm.nih.gov) has an entirely new design, focused on your top tasks.

We also updated thousands of pages within the site. They now include site-wide navigation in the header so many of your favorite links should be just a click away. There is also a new “Share” feature so you can send content to your friends, colleagues or yourself via social bookmarking and networking. Plus, we’ve added links to make it easier to connect with us on Facebook and Twitter.

We hope you find this new design useful and welcome your feedback via our Contact NLM link.

The National Library of Medicine, a component of the National Institutes of Health, is the world’s largest medical library.”‘
