    interesting WP plugin - may not be appropriate for UT Libs since you have no control over the external comments, but very interesting

    Allows you to hide the comment until approved by an admin... seems to work well... i enabled it on tis and longhorn reviews... of course, no comments were found out in the internets.

    Some excellent grist for the redesign mill. Might be worth sharing with the Web Oversight Group, so I'll do that.

    If you think Windows 8 is just a change in GUI, you're already behind in the future of computing and GUI's. This article talks about the future of the computer and GUI's. Very interesting read.

    Example of a library using Pinterest for book lists. Very visually appealing. They linked the cover images to the catalog in some cases although it's inconsistent.

    The premise is misleading, but the article has some useful tips and information. The article should clarify that: "Everyone can be creative at something; but that something might not be a way to earn a living." A comedian once said, "A dodo bird can be beautiful and useful and important...but you don't encourage the dodo bird to fly."

    Due to the Library's frequent movement of collections the last few years, interactive floor plans are not currently available. Below is a description of what can be found on each floor while new floor plans are being devised.

    This is an example of how there are rules in design, but with experience, they can be bent or even broken. The leading on this paragraph is so tight, that the ascenders and descenders of letters are touching each other. Accessibility is our goal, of course. I just wanted to share this as an example that is inspiring to me.

    You have to view this in iTunes or a mobile device. It's an interesting collection of iconic images/designs that this museum feel are classic in the sense of their longevity. The include a short video with each entry and talk a bit about their selection. They even include the Kalashnikov rifle as on of their iconic designs.

    An interesting article on brainstorming. READ WITH A GRAIN OF SALT because it is an opinion piece. Brainstorming DOES work - I have personal experience with it doing so when I worked with a multiple CLIO winning advertising team. The way that the New Yorker writer defines brainstorming is very limited; but the article does have some insight into the creative process using measurable results.

    Putting something important in a graphic can backfire. Wonder if this applies to that Ask a Librarian Survey graphic that Joe asked for?
  • matthewav on 10 Mar 15
     
    It's definitely a valid point to bring up banner blindness (as in the "article" linked). Banner blindness can easily be addressed by size, position and weight (just some of the principles of graphic design that will help a graphic be effective). The environment in which the graphic is placed is very key, of course, and must be addressed when determining whether or not a graphic will be used. Thanks for posting, Jade!

    I like how they feature a group of collections on the home page and then include a separate section of additional collections. It clearly shows which are of greater importance and leaves no question of where users can click to start exploring. On the con side, only some of these featured collections lead to digitized primary source materials. We need to make it clear for our users which collections are available online and which only include online finding aids.

  • Alternately, a combination of captioning (to transcribe sound effects) and subtitling (written translation, with a focus on users with sign as a primary language) is most effective. Where this isn’t possible, a transcript of the dialogue will suffice; transcripts provide the user with an opportunity to print out the dialogue and read it at a comfortable pace.

    This article was posted today... and is relevant to our captioning discussions. It makes it sounds as if transcripts are actually better than captions, because it allows Deaf users to print out and read at a comfortable pace.
