TO: TCI Library Users

After many months of planning and development, the TCI Library will be upgraded tomorrow to improve site security and ease of use.

The work is scheduled to take place between 09:00 and 17:00 PST.  The start time depends on resources at our site host that we do not directly control.  Once started, we plan to keep the site downtime as short as possible. 

Please be patient.

While the major security enhancements should be invisible to users, some major changes to look for include:


>> New "Menu Bar" for site navigation.

The Main Menu and links are moved from the left side of the window to a black bar under the site title.  Many menu choices are hidden until you mouse over the menu.  If you want help getting started, see the links under the word "Introduction" in the Menu Bar.

The user interface is oriented toward the user's choice to either Browse or Search for information.  The "Browse the Library" menu entry offers many quick links to move around the Library quickly. 


>> Clarified and expanded the search options.

The three search options have been renamed for clarity, expanded and documentation has been added (with more to come).

The Library's keyword-based searches, now called Basic Search and Advanced Search, now accept keywords as short as 2 characters (WE, AE, etc.) and search strings up to 40 characters.

You'll find more changes listed on the new home page. 

There will undoubtedly be a few surprises to clean up and we do still have a long To Do list of past projects to get back to. You'll see more changes over the next few months.

As always, we appreciate your feedback.  Tell us what you like and don't like.

Thanks for your continued support,
