Ending the Radio silence with American Social History Online Portal release

Much has been quiet on the blogging front as the core team for American Social History Online works feverishly to get the new portal ready to show at the upcoming DLF Forum in Philadelphia. The portal is looking good and you can check it out at www.dlfaquifer.org. Be warned that it is still under construction so you may experience some unpredictable results. Try it with Firefox and check out the Zotero integration. Take a look at the integration with the DLF Collections registry by clicking on the collection descriptions link and view the headings for each collection as a tag cloud by selecting "view headings". Our early evaluators asked for more visual approaches to searching and browsing, thus the SIMILEtimeline integration.

Kudos to the core team, Chick Markley, Kat Hagedorn, Susan Harum and Tom Habing for getting this done and to all the members of the Aquifer working groups who have spent countless hours organizing information for the team to use, testing and giving feedback and cheering the core team on through the development process.
