Service by (Re)design.Several NWREL Web pages have undergone extensive overhauls and improvements. Take a look at NWREL's Comprehensive Center Region X Web pages. The new design features colorful graphics, a handy sidebar for wasy navigation and searching, and a new Hot Topics feature that showcases online versions of the Center's Hot Topics publications. The LEARNS (Linking Education and America Reads through National Service) site has been redesigned and expanded, and now offers online resources, publications, and information on America Reads and other Corporation for National Service projects. AmeriCorps Network NW, which provides information and support to National Service programs throughout the Northwest, has also been redesigned.
