New Newsletter Format - & Searchable on NFLS Website


You may notice that this week's newsletter looks a little different. Here's what changed:
  • The newsletter name Nic News Weekly and date have been moved up to the header area, and
  • "Upcoming Events" has been renamed Upcoming Events & Deadlines and moved from the top-right side to the bottom to create a better flow for mobile readers.
If your library would like to start up a newsletter like this one for your patrons - just reply to this email with your request to get started!
_________________________________

Going forward, you can search the NFLS website for past Nic News Weekly topics. For example: you thought you read something about a BadgerLink outage, but don't recall where; simply type "BadgerLink Outage" in the search bar - results will now include newsletters with those words in the heading: https://www.nfls.lib.wi.us/apps/search?q=badgerlink+outage (as well as other places on the website).

I hope these changes add to your reading and searching enjoyment. Thanks for reading Nic News Weekly!
