Nelson Public Libraries website has been recently redesigned to provide easy and convenient access to all library related information and services - quick access widgets, RSS, event calendar, search Catalogue instant access, Teen and Kids sections etc. Library News blog highlights recent news, and calls for attention to library services. The website goal is to look clean and attractive, easy to access and fully functional,reflecting current library trends with aim to please wide spectrum of library users.

The team at Clinton-Macomb Public Library considered a variety of open-source technologies when designing their new site (launched June 1, 2009), but ultimately decided that those content management systems did not provide enough flexibility in interface design.

The in-house team coordinated a 9-month redesign that utilizes a variety of widgets (such as IM and Bookletters content), database programming, and RSS feeds to pipe new information into the site.

Using iframes, the team created a seamless transition from the main portion of the site to the online catalog, marrying the two together in look and feel.

Committed to utilizing usability research in their design, the team at Clinton-Macomb redesigned the information archtitecture of the site based on extensive card-sorting exercises with over 300 patrons. The result is a tabbed-navigation design based on the most common categories patrons expected to see on a library website. The team also conducted over 15 usability tests to confirm their interface design was executed well.

Complete redesign which showcases Web 2.0 functionalities and customizable content, engages patron participation, features an easy to use navigational structure with prominent displays of library events, materials and resources, and offers a wealth of new content.

Innovative ways libraries use RSS.

It looks like LoC has gone hog-wild over RSS -- at least judging by their RSS page.

They've got everything available for subscription from News and Events to PodCasts. It's a good example of how RSS feeds can be organized and presented.
