About the Book

Designing or redesigning a library website? This how-to guide will walk you through the process step-by-step.

Whether in academic, public, or special libraries, library websites are created as a service to users – a digital branch of the physical library where users can find and access the information they require. As such, library website designers grapple with meeting library-specific needs and concerns while also designing a website that looks modern and on trend.

This book provides library website designers with foundational knowledge of the standards and best practices that apply to all websites, but also delves into the current trends of modern library websites specifically. Outlining the process of creating a well-organized, accessible, and user-friendly website for library users, the book starts with needs assessment and content organization, continues through site navigation and user experience design, and closes with a look at website analytics and the process of ongoing maintenance and assessment.

Library Website Design and Development: Trends and Best Practices provides practicing web librarians with an inclusive step-by-step guide to all of the topics inherent in the website design and development process, while also taking a focused look at the unique needs of library websites. Each chapter in this book covers the foundational knowledge needed for an aspect of website design and is supplemented by a list of additional resources that go into further depth on each topic.
