Have you explored the new Allegheny County eLibrary website yet? With improved accessibility and mobile-friendly funtioning, the new site is a welcome upgrade. It is now even easier to browse resources by subject, filter by age group, and search available resources.

Take a few minutes to explore the new website at elibrarycals.org and familiarize yourself with its features and resources.

Don’t forget to update any links on your library’s website, resource pages, or other promotional materials that point to the old eLibrary site. We want to make sure patrons can easily find and access the new site wherever they’re looking for digital library resources!

Questions about the eLibrary site? Use the new contact form on the website to reach us directly.

And stay tuned for more information about the upcoming “eLibrary Insider” site (e.g. the new eLibrary Backstage)!

Good news! The upgraded eLibrary website went live on October 14 and is now available at the below link. It is definitely more mobile-friendly and accessible, and we are very excited to share it. A permanent redirect is in the works, but in the meantime be sure to update your bookmarks and links to the new site.

Even more news – this will be one of the final Backstage posts… But don’t despair! We are simply rebranding and converting to a SharePoint site titled “eLibrary Insider,” which will facilitate better sharing of content among staff and enable control of access. The newly created site will continue our weekly blog posts, and also contain marketing materials, training resources, and other useful information and documents. See the screenshot below for your sneak peek of the site launching later this fall, and stay tuned for directions on how all ACLA staff will soon be invited to become “eLibrary Insiders”!
