Discover how—with relatively straightforward scripts and minimal
coding—to customize the user interfaces to third-party systems
from your library's website for better communication with your
users and to lead them to your library's services. In order to
provide access to online resources, libraries depend on third-party
vendor software that comes with each product. While these systems
do have value, they can also be confusing, awkward, frustrating, or
even misleading for library users. Imagine how much better your
patrons' user experience would be if the software were customized
specifically to fit your library. This how-to guide shows library
staff how to take a DIY approach to customize the web interface to
vendor-hosted online systems, thereby resolving usability problems
and providing the ability to respond quickly to problems or
evolving needs. The book begins with an explanation of how to test
library vendor software for user experience, then goes on to
present solutions to common usability problems through tutorials
and case studies on using JavaScript or jQuery to change how a web
browser displays that software. It also covers ongoing assessment
methods to ensure that user needs have been satisfied. By using
these tools, libraries can take some control of "black box" library
software and customize it based on local needs.
