Berkeley Public Library's New Website - Nice!

Hooray, the Berkeley Public Library has launched their new website and it looks fantastic! I'm proud to have had a hand in the project. My partner, Nicole Reinecker, and I worked with BPL to redevelop their site architecture and come up with the excellent design. After gettting the basic design and site architecture work done, the BPL folks took the project back in house and continued to fine-tune the website and develop an appropriate workflow. It's not easy to move from a centralized website to one where responsibility for the content is greatly distributed. This is how it should be, of course, but its a painful process to make the change. Kudos to everyone involved!
