How are we collecting data and observing behavior to improve these interfaces to better meet our user's needs? How can we learn from what other researchers are studying and use that data to implement change?

Rather, products provide a basic core of functionality designed to serve the general needs of libraries, with configuration options to set operational and cosmetic details for individual implementations. Many libraries, however, need to implement new functionality not delivered with the base product. Libraries might be able to press the developers of the products, developed under either proprietary or open source licenses, to create enhancements to the core system to meet these needs.

The design of Website navigation can be simple or complex, flat or deep. In all cases, website navigation should take into account information architecture (IA) best practices, common user tasks in the library domain, user research, analytics and information seeking models. In this four week, asynchronous, online course, you will gain insight into the art &amp; science of IA, the discipline of labeling and organizing online information for optimal usability and findability.

There is also the link to a spreadsheet of our national findings here: http://librarywebsites.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/full-data-set.xlsx The next step in the project is to get input directly from library patrons about both their information needs, how they use your current website, and their general thoughts on its current usability and opportunities for improvement. Similar to our previous study we are reaching out to public and academic libraries across the country and would like to invite your library to participate. We will send each participating library a link to an online survey to forward out to their patron email list and post on their website.

Ideally, we would like something like LibGuides, but password protected so only staff could access it from any PC online. We are thinking this way we could add video and slideshows to the manual and update it more regularly than print. We are not looking to put anything really sensitive in the manual (Employee information, Cell phone numbers, etc) would be kept offline. Nothing Julian Assange would want!

The UC Berkeley Library presently uses phpScheduleIT v.1.2.9 as its study room reservation software. Upgrading to v. 2.4.2 is being considered, but we'd also like to know if there are other room reservation applications we should seriously review and consider. An application that supports unmediated reservations, and authorization via the Library patron file would be pluses. My list of room reservation apps so far includes: phpScheduleIT v. 2.4.2 LibCal (Springshare) Evanced MRBS Eventkeeper Netsimplicity Drupal modules (Drupal-powered library website coming in the next year, or so) Thanks in advance for your input and advice, Lisa Weber Library Systems Office, UC Berkeley Library ============================ To unsubscribe: http://bit.ly/web4lib Web4Lib Web Site: http://web4lib.org/ 2013-06-05 </pre> Lisa WEBER 2013-06-05T20:04:49 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.education.web4lib/20754 <pre>Hi, Anyone out there using OCLC Hosted EZ proxy with WMS? Our IT folks would be happy to let go of managing our local, in-house EZ Proxy server. OCLC says their hosted version integrates with Worldshare Management System. The problem is, I am not even remotely an IT person or systems librarian. Do you think it would be possible for someone like me, with a limited knowledge of EZ proxy, to maintain the hosted version? IT will help with the initial configuration. If you are using it, do you also use OCLC license manager product? Is this an easier way to manage the Hosted proxy product, or could I do it without it? Any demos you all know of? Everything I am finding on support site just shows how to configure and manage the local version. Feel free to reply offline so as not to cross the product promotion boundary for the list. I'll be happy to share responses - let me know if you'd rather I didn't.
