Copyright Office Presents New Website Design
The Copyright Office Website took on a streamlined
look when the Register of Copyrights launched a new design on April 22.
The new design is the direct result of a 2001 online user survey conducted
by the Office. Enhancements included in the new design include a search
engine for the Website, a way to search Copyright Office registrations
and documents, a step-by-step guide to registration arranged by category
of work, and a navigational bar with tabs that makes using the site easier
and faster. See the new design at www.copyright.gov
