Consider Your Users : How Helpful is Your Interface?

Presented by: Donna Reed, Web Services Coordinator, Multnomah County Library and Paul Irving, Insite Web Publishing Online Northwest February 16, 2007: Libraries often face challenges to website interface design because of staff and resource constraints, and requirements imposed by a larger governmental or academic organization. Join us for a discussion about how Multnomah County Library evaluated its web services and created a design that integrated its catalog with its website. This presentation covered usability/accessibility issues, web standards, design basics, writing for the web and graceful integration with a larger organization. Speakers also discussed the challenges of working within an institutional framework or content management system.
