Making Your Images Ready for the Web: Webinar (04/13/17) 

Are you responsible for creating and/or posting graphics or photos online? Are your photos stretched or pixelated? Are graphics optimized specifically for specific social media channels? Are website images inadvertently sucking up your patron's (expensive) mobile bandwidth? Does your library follow recommended best practices, to get the most attention for your images?

You may not even be aware of some of the issues that web images can create for your patrons. In this webinar, we're going to help you get your images ready for prime time.

Learning Outcomes:

1. Understand why image optimization is critical for a better user experience
2. Learn the most common image formats and when to use each
3. Learn about requirements for images by various social media networks
