NEMLAC's New Web site with Interactive Map !
The new NEMLAC web site is now available at http://www.nemlac.co.uk/. The new site has been designed to present an attractive way in to our sector for the public, for our local, regional and national stakeholders and for our members. It will function as an advocacy tool and as such is well designed, informative and expected to encourage repeat visits. New features include:
- An interactive map which will locate the nearest museums, libraries and archives and link to the region's electronic catalogues and virtual collections.
- Statements about NEMLAC and about the value and potential impact of our sector on the life of the region.
- Link to the 'old' web site which will continue to provide relevant documents, information sets and current awareness including news, job and consultancy promotions.
The interactive map is innovative and a first for a Regional Agency or MLAC. It is queried by postcode and will locate the first 10 museums, libraries or archives nearest that postcode. You can then link to the web site of the required venue for further information. On the map you can zoom in and out and move the map in all directions. The map includes road numbers for easy location of venues. The site has been tested for accessibility and is designed for standard monitor resolution. A text only version of every page is available from each page or from the Site Map. NEMLAC welcomes feedback - contributions to [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] or telephone 0191 222 1661. The 'old' version of the web site will continue to be maintained and developed at a new address: http://www.nemlac.co.uk/nemlac.
We encourage museums, library and archive organisations within the region and beyond to link to the map but ask that interested parties contact us first and we aim to provide emdedded links for this purpose.
