Finding Time

I wish I had known that the solution for needing to teach our users how to search our catalog was to create a system that didn't need to be taught. Tennant, Roy. What I Wish I Had Known. Library Journal. November 15, 2005. http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6282632.html

Google recognizes
that it is an application
and immediately provides
you with the user interface
while libraries are still stuck in the
mind set of web 'pages’ .
--Bill Moody on Web4Lib

Usability Expert : Ok, so this is the search form... Librarian(s): So... is this the simple search form or the advanced search? Usability Expert : This is the search form. Singer, Ross. Polishing the Turd: The Danger of Redesigning the OPAC. May 9, 2005. http://dilettantes.blogspot.com/2005/05/polishing-turd-dangers-of-redesigning.html

“ Librarians need to use their expertise to make the library's online presence approach the simplicity and power of the Internet.”

How Do We Get There? Involve students in interface planning Give a small, informed group the freedom to dream and develop
