This document discusses several challenges facing the Library of Congress including fragmentation across sites, domains and identities which confuses users. It also discusses findability issues where users cannot easily find what they need from the home page or through web searches. As a result, many potential users never utilize the Library's resources because they are not easily findable. The document advocates for improvements to web governance and information architecture to help address these issues.

Libraries gather and interpret data for a variety of purposes: to evaluate the content and accessibility of products bought for users, to understand community dynamics and demographics, to identify new services or improvements to existing ones, and much more. In the haystack of numbers available to library professionals, how do we identify the needles, and how do we polish them? This workshop will help you evaluate data quality and communicate it effectively to a variety of stakeholders.

White Wonder by Eva Tschopp
A tale about our culture around the use of fertilizers and pesticides visiting small farms around Ahmedabad in Matar and Shilaj.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.

The Library of Congress
“To further the progress of knowledge and creativity.”
7. Fragmentation
Fragmentation into multiple sites,
domains, and identities is a major
problem. Users don’t know which
site to visit for which purpose.
Findability
Users can’t find what they need
from the home page, but most users
don’t come through the front door.
They enter via a web search or a
deep link, and are confused by what
they find. Even worse, most never
use the Library, because its
resources aren’t easily findable.

games until someone gets a larval cyst in the brain.”

22. “There is a problem in discussing
systems only with words. Words and
sentences must, by necessity, come only
one at a time in linear, logical order.
Systems happen all at once. They are
connected not just in one direction, but
in many directions simultaneously.”

24. “It is the responsibility of the
architect to know and concentrate
on the critical few details and
interfaces that really matter.”
25. The design and management
of information systems.
Understanding the nature
of information in systems.
41. The outcome is the goal (or problem) you want to work on.
If a problem (Current state, change is needed):
- What is the outcome we are seeing?
- How do we know it’s a problem?
If a goal (Desired state):
- What is the outcome we want?
- How would we know we succeeded??
Behaviors are activities that are
observable.
- Ask people to share stories about
good (or bad) experiences they
have had with the culture.
- Look for concrete, tangible
examples.
Stated levers are explicit. They
include how people are rewarded
and punished, rules, resources and
budgets, policies, processes, physical
office layout or distribution, and
organizational structure.
Unstated levers are implicit. They include
unwritten rules, “the way we do things around
here,” routines and habits, values, beliefs, and
politics that may be unconscious or hidden. They
are not usually discussed openly, although they
may be “open secrets” that everyone knows and
discusses in private.
Use the Culture Map to explore and understand your organization’s readiness for
change or growth. You can also use the Culture Map to design new incentives and
structures that will increase your initiative’s chances of success.
44. “There’s a secret about MRIs and
back pain: the most common
problems physicians see on MRI and
attribute to back pain – herniated,
ruptured, and bulging discs – are
seen almost as commonly on MRIs of
healthy people without back pain.”
45. “If you want to accelerate
someone’s death, give him a
personal doctor. I don’t mean
provide him with a bad doctor.
Just pay for him to choose his
own. Any doctor will do.”

57. “Where architects use forms and spaces to design
environments for inhabitation, information architects use
nodes and links to create environments for understanding.”
Jorge Arango, Architectures (2011)
