New NPR site is full of awesome
July 28, 2009
NPR’s new website recently launched. Take a look if you haven’t seen it yet!
I really, really like it. I’m finding it much easier to find commonly needed items…you know, those patron questions about something they heard on some show on NPR but can’t remember. There is a ton of information on their site (just like library sites!) but somehow, everything is findable. They even offer a video tour so you can orient yourself to the new site.
I have long believed that the NPR website is one of the great un-tapped reference resources on the web. Just about any topic you can think of, including current hot topics, is on NPR’s site somewhere.

I can’t get the new NPR site to connect beyond its home page! I’ve tried several times over the past few days to get to a couple of stories listed in the results of a “Search” done on it, and it just sits there, “Waiting to connect to NPR community.” It’s exasperating!
