Visitors to the Atlanta Fed’s Web site include bankers and banking consumers, academics and researchers, teachers and students, other banking regulators and reporters. “The Atlanta Fed’s new Web site utilizes a number of different navigational formats for greater functionality as well as new imagery and graphics. In addition, we’ve done some of the research for site visitors by providing related links to selected features on the site. All told, these improvements make visiting the Bank’s site more user friendly and ultimately more informative,” said Bobbie McCrackin, vice president and public affairs officer of the Atlanta Fed. The Bank’s Web site address remains www.frbatlanta.org.
