New Homepage for HPL

Hello all,

Just a reminder to tell you that IT will be changing the home page on all staff computers to http://hplnet.hpl.lib.tx.us. We know that many of you have created a blog that you are using as your home page, and others are very fond of the /staff/ref page. There are some very good reasons to have the Intranet as the home page:

· it can enhance system-wide communication. This is meant for all staff. Many of our fellow staff members are not aware of the Intranet and what it offers.
· if we all get in the habit of looking at the site, we can suggest things to be on the site that we would find helpful, and the site can be made more useful to all.
· there is easy access to the staff telephone directory and the library forms.

We know that many of you have your own unit blogs, and that they are also very useful for internal communication. You can put your blog as the first link in your Favorites (bookmarks) so that it is only one click away. If the /staff/ref/ page is what you want, you'll find all those links and more under the "reference" tab on the Intranet home page. The directory of HPL Blogs is listed there as well, for your convenience.

Thank you for your support,

Diana, Gina, Mike, and Syma
