Coming Soon! A New and Improved Biodiversity Heritage Library

A New & Improved BHL Search & Interface

In October, 2011, BHL Staff conducted a usability test of the BHL US/UK portal, assessing its functionality and comparing it with that of the BHL-Australia portal. While several recommendations arose from that exercise, two of the most emphatic were a need to improve the BHL search functionality and a desire to make the BHL US/UK portal more aesthetically pleasing.

You spoke, and we listened. Today, we’re excited to announce the release of a new and improved BHL interface and search capability!
