National Library of Wales website revamped

The National Library of Wales website at www.llgc.org.uk has had a revamp. The key resources are now accessible via the menu bar at the top, under the headings Catalogues, Visit, About Us, Services and Collections. The e-resources on the site are now accessible via the first heading, Catalogues.

I have been having some problems locating some collections - Welsh marriage bonds for example are accessible directly at http://isys.llgc.org.uk/, but it's taken a while to work out how to do so if I approach the site for the first time. It looks like you do so via the Full Catalogue, but you have to save the search criteria in the left column before doing a search on the main page - i.e. click on Marriage Bonds, click Save, then search for the name desired. Might take a wee bit of getting used to!
