Our library introduced a new design last August.  Similar
some of the
other responses, we waited until the summer sessions were
over, which
gave us a few weeks to work out any kinks before the fall
semester
started.

We did not provide any kind of preview before unveiling the
new design.
Before the semester started, the library director did
introduce faculty
to the new website at the annual college seminar.  It was
also mentioned
in the fall issue of the library newsletter (which is
distributed
campus-wide).

The transition to the new site went very smoothly for us. 
Hope that
helps.
