In 1995, Canadian Literature introduced canlit.ca. The web site con- tained information about recent and upcoming issues, article abstracts, ordering and advertising information, and submission guidelines. Since then, we have added online Reviews, an RSS feed, a resources page, French-language content, an online index with full-text search capability, and letters from our readers. In 2007, we overhauled the design and functionality of the web site to improve accessibility and provide more resources on Canadian litera- ture. The navigation menu has been completely reworked, our search engine is faster and more useful, pages are accessible to the visually im- paired via screen readers, and French translations are available for all static pages. Additionally, new book reviews appear randomly on each page, our list of Canadian literary journals/magazines has been up- dated, and we have added an ever-growing list of Canadian publishers. We hope you will enjoy the new site and welcome any feedback you might have.
