A beta version of the upcoming new release of the Virtual Language Observatory resource discovery service is now available at http://beta-vlo.clarin.eu, for everyone interested to have a look, try out some of the new features and check that there aren't any major issues. The new release will be VLO version 4.1. Compared to the version of VLO currently in production, there are several new features that will improve the experience of using the VLO. For instance, it is now possible to select multiple values within a facet, collection names are shown directly below the titles in the search results, and the representation of resources has been tweaked. Any issues, remarks or other feedback can be reported to the development team via vlo@clarin.eu.
