Event Description
Library websites can be prone to a number of issues that frustrate their users. Many sites use outdated conventions, anecdotal "data" or fail to use standard practices, resulting in poor experiences for patrons, and a loss of credibility for the library as a community institution. In this webinar, learn about common problems found on today's library websites, backed by current research, from a web designer/developer who has been working with library websites for more than two decades.
Learning objectives:
Laura Solomon, MCIW, MLS, is the Library Services Manager for the Ohio Public Library Information Network . She has been doing web development and design for more than twenty years, in both public libraries and as an independent consultant. She specializes in developing with Drupal. She is a 2010 Library Journal Mover & Shaker. She’s written three books about social media and content marketing, specifically for libraries, and speaks nationally on both these and technology-related topics. As a former children’s librarian, she enjoys bringing the “fun of technology” to audiences and in giving libraries the tools they need to better serve the virtual customer.
Learning objectives:
- Discover issues that commonly cause usability problems for website users
- Learn about outdated practices that should no longer be used on your library's website, and why
- Get resources for educating yourself and others about current trends and usability data
