  Changes at WebJunction Connecticut

  March 26th, 2012 | Permalink | Comment?

  Those of you who have tried to access WebJunction Connecticut today have probably noticed that OCLC/WebJunction has re-organized the website.  WebJunction Connecticut (the web-site of the State Library’s Division of Library Development) is now available as a section of the main WebJunction website.

  Highlights:

  • There is no longer a http://ct.webjunction.org website.
  • If you use an old ct.webjunction.org address,  you should be re-directed to the corresponding page on the new website.
  • WebJunction has a separate and improved online course center which requires its own login.  A link to this course center is provided on the web-page above.  Use your existing WebJunction CT username and password to access.  If you haven’t taken a course in the past year, you will have to re-apply for a Connecticut account.

  If you have any questions about the new WebJunction Connecticut, please contact me.

  New WebJunction CT Site Now Scheduled to Debut August 4

  July 21st, 2008 | Permalink | Comment?

  The new website originally scheduled to appear July 21 will now debut on August 4. Besides having a completely different look, the new site will offer Web 2.0 features that allow for more collaboration and discussion. Online course offerings will triple in both size and variety. And all the content should be easier to navigate and Connecticut-specific topics easier to find. It should be worth the wait!
