In one of my blogs, I looked at how librarians can benefit from the website WebJunction. In that blog, I looked at how librarians can take advantage of this website and what the website has to offer. Since then, there have been some minor changes to the website. Although I did made some minor changes to my blog to reflect those changes, there are some minor additions to the Website that need attention.
Specifically, they have three new tabs that read "Share Your Story" "About Us" and "Our Partners." In the "Share Your Story" section, librarians are encouraged to share their success stories on the ways the use to advocate for the library. In the "About Us" section, you can learn more about the website, and how you can maneuver through it, and how you can become a member. While in the "Our Partners" section, you learn which US libraries have teamed up with WebJunction to offer free courses to their members. Lastly, I've also noticed that there is a bigger emphasis on becoming a member than in the previous layout. [1]
As you can see, it's quite hard to work with online tools such as websites. If I had not checked back with the website, I would have provided you guys with the wrong links to those necessary sources. Although I did try my best to update my blog post as much as I could (before the Professor advised me to do otherwise!).
One major change that I did not agree with is that they removed the User Guide that I found so beneficial. That User Guide answered many questions that one may have, from questions relation to how to add courses, to things like how to add articles, presentations or handouts onto the website.

Three new tabs are just wonderful.
