What Makes a Good Library Website? - InfoSpace - 0 views

  •  
    "Some library websites feel disconnected from the library as a whole. Rather than looking at a library's web presence as a burden or an obligation, libraries should see their website as an extension of the library itself. Like the physical library space, library collections, and library services and programs, the library's website is an iterative project that requires maintenance and care. Websites should be updated and evaluated regularly. They must strive to meet the specific needs of the community the library serves."
