Browse Topics Redesign

The U.S. Government Printing Office (GPO) and Oklahoma State University (OSU) are pleased to announce that a redesign of the Browse Topics Web site is underway. This redesign continues GPO's and OSU's successful partnership to create topical pathfinders to electronic Federal Government information. The new Browse Topics Web site:

• Includes an updated list of topical pathfinders grouped by subject.
• Allows users to search by keyword across all topics.
• Increases opportunities to contribute listings to a topic by eliminating the need to code the entries in HTML.

GPO and OSU would like to thank all those who took the time to review the beta version of the redesigned Browse Topics Web site and complete the usability survey. The results have been very helpful as we continue working on the redesign.

Those interested in checking on the progress of the redesign can continue to access the beta version. Additional topics have been populated with entries and OSU will be working with contributors to add even more entries to the site. As the site is still in beta, we ask that you do not post the URL to any electronic discussion lists.

Those interested in becoming Browse Topics contributors are encouraged to complete the "Apply to Contribute" form, which is available under the Browse Topics Contributors link on the homepage. OSU will then contact contributors with a user name and password along with information on how to add entries to a topic.

OSU has been contacting contributors in small batches with user names, passwords, and information on how to add entries to a topic. We appreciate the patience of all the contributors as we complete this process and come closer to a public release.
