There's a short video on the homepage that reviews the new platform and prompts you to sign in and update your profile. This is the first step towards taking advantage of the new functionality. Some of the new features -
- New course catalog offers hundreds of new courses from WebJunction, LE@D, and SkillSoft.
- My WebJunction tab on the main page creates a more personalized experience. Sign in to see My WebJunction and start to collect all your bookmarks, contributions, and activities in one place.
- More partners means more choices for subscribing to customized content from library service organizations.
- Deeper member profile with personalized fields allows you to choose how to represent yourself to other WebJunction members. Plus, you control how much of your WebJunction profile to share.
- Community ownership means you contribute too. The new platform makes it easy for anyone across the community to add content in all kinds of formats.
- Friendly Terms of Use now include Creative Commons licensing and custom privacy options. When you sign in you'll be accepting their new Terms. Please take some time to review them before you get started.

We appreciate the mention, Stephanie! We're really striving to provide (and improve) the services that have made WJ a trusted stomping ground for library professionals (such as courses and content), while adding just enough 2.0 functionality to allow you pros to connect with each other in the process of your WJ-related activities.
I also appreciate your attention to the new terms. We felt that getting Creative Commons and the overall sharing message in there was central to the success of community-driven content and engagement. I'm glad you noticed!
