The British Library has launched a new version of their Website this week,
the first significant redesign since their initial launch in 1995. The new
site eliminates frames, simplifies navigation, makes the look and feel of
the site more consistent throughout, and aims to make the site more
accessible to a variety of browsers, platforms, and bandwidths. In addition,
the library offers an exhibit to accompany the installation that went on
display this summer, Lie of the Land: The Secret Life of Maps. The online
exhibition is brief but does feature images of some of the museum
installation's highlights in the explore section and the tour the exhibit
section. A nice browse for map aficionado.
