Making First Contact on the Library Web Site

摘要

Almost all libraries now have a Web presence. Many are well-developed and offer dozens of services and hundreds of pages. As Web technology marches on, we all want to incorporate new features. However, redoing those hundreds of pages is a big job. Just thinking about it can be overwhelming. If you're considering a major site overhaul, you'll need to do some planning to make the process as smooth and simple as possible. It may seem easier to just do piecemeal changes, but that approach can end up gobbling up time and effort in the long run. Susanna Davidsen and Everyl Yankee explain what to do in Web Site Design with the Patron in Mind: A Step-by-Step Guide for Libraries, a concise book to help plan your redesign process.
