[iris-bulk] New IRIS Website

[IRIS]

On Tuesday May 27th IRIS will be launching a new version of the www.iris.edu 
  website. This website is the final product of a project that started  
in October 2007 and has involved representatives from all of the IRIS  
programs.

The new design represents a significant step for IRIS in our efforts  
to better serve the seismology research and education communities and  
the public. Among the major goals of this project were to provide  
easier navigation, highlight several lesser-known IRIS activities and  
also make people aware of the many ways in which they can access  
seismic data. To achieve these goals required changes not only to the  
look of the website, but also to the structure of the website itself.

As a result, some pages on the website have moved. We have made every  
effort to ensure that the new site is easy to navigate and that no  
information from the old site was lost. We have added significant new  
content. Much of the structure, especially at the lower levels, will  
remain familiar to frequent users. It is still different from the old  
website, however. This means that some extra time and effort may be  
required to find a web page that you frequently visit.

When the new website launches on Tuesday, please take time to  
familiarize yourself with its new look and structure. We would greatly  
appreciate your comments and suggestions for improvements. Each  
webpage has a link at the bottom you can use to send in suggestions,  
complaints or kudos.

Those of you attending the IRIS Workshop, June 4-7, are encouraged to  
meet with IRIS staff to discuss any recommendations you have.

If you have any questions related to the new IRIS website, you can  
direct them to Matt Toigo (toigo at iris.edu).
