This text explains interface design techniques and helps librarians
with specific examples demonstrating the potential of Web
technologies. Working on the acclaimed electronic publishing
project JSTOR, Kristen Garlock and Sherry Piontek have visited many
of the participating library sites to troubleshoot problems and
solicit user feedback. Drawing on their experience, the authors
describe the common characteristics of the best library Web sites,
such as good organization, design for ease of navigation, and
intuitive search forms for logical browsing. They also suggest
mechanisms for delivering the information, like e-mail, downloads
and helper applications. Libraries are using single Web interfaces
to access a range of resources, some to specific audiences - OPACs
and propriety databases, library-created infobases, community
information, Web directories, library event information,
exhibitions and more. This work includes advice on topics such as
principles of interface design accessibility issues, keeping people
with disabilities in mind, making navigation easy for users and how
to involve users in the design process.
