Library Website Design: Is Your Site an Obstacle Course? Webinar (12/4/18) 

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 Many sites use outdated conventions, anecdotal "data" or fail to use standard practices, resulting in poor experiences for patrons, and a loss of credibility for the library as a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.
