Latest update: 

As of approximately 4 pm MT, 11-04-11:   NSDL's transition of nsdl.org to new cloud-based servers has gone smoothly. Domain Name System (DNS) changes are still propagating throughout the Internet, so some locations may still see the old site over the next 24-48 hours.  Thanks for your patience and understanding! 

NSDL friends -

The National Science Digital Library (NSDL) is engaged in technical transition work that includes switching servers that host the NSDL.org website. This switchover is targeted to take place starting on Friday, November 11, 2011, with necessary brief outages that will continue over the following weekend, to minimize the impact. 

Most of the work will be complete by Monday, November 14, but there may also be brief outages of some services during the following week. We ask for your patience and understanding as we conduct this very essential work. Thanks! 

Shodor has been honored with the 2011 Alfred P. Sloan Award for Business Excellence in Workplace Flexibility for its use of flexibility as an effective workplace strategy to increase business and employee success.

This prestigious award, part of the national When Work Works project, recognizes employers of all sizes and types in the Triangle area and across the country. 

Workplace flexibility—such as flextime, part-time work and compressed workweeks—has been demonstrated to help businesses remain competitive while also benefiting employees as well.
