Clinton-Macomb Public Library website
Submitted by AskCMPL on Thu, 07/09/2009 - 07:00.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.

Submitted by KalamazooLibrary on Thu, 04/30/2009 - 13:16.Kalamazoo (Michigan) Public Library's website has been recently redesigned and rearchitected to provide easy and fast access to information about library services, holdings, and events. Staff blogs help connect patrons with library staff, highlight recent events and timely news, and call attention to library services. Tightly integrated yet stylistically separate subsites are provided for select services, such as Kids, Tweens, Teens, a community reading program, nonprofit service center, local history, law library, childhood literacy initiative, and more. Typical of the comments received from patrons so far include "clean," "easy to use," "easy to read," and "really impressive."
