Pieces of Eight: News Bulletins from the Eighth Federal Reserve District
New and Improved Web Site
If you're looking for a way to pass the time in the air conditioning this summer, check out the St. Louis Fed's newly retooled web site at www.stls.frb.org.
The site has been completely reworked to make it more appealing to visitors in terms of both the organization and presentation of information. Several new features have also been added, including pull-down menus (for those who have the latest browsers), an internal search engine and a site guide.
For more information on the St. Louis Fed's web site, contact Lora Holman by phone at (314) 444-8553 or by e-mail at webmaster@stls.frb.org.
