In the next couple of days, we will be posting a new library home page.  I struggle so much with changing the current one – if something works, don’t fix it – right?

However, we have had the same site for six years. 

Of note, the Johnson County Public Library just changed their web site.   It looks wonderful and a great example of “cleaning up” a busy page.  It is giving me courage as I think of changing the West library page.   

Things I love:

*Novelist widget put in the Find a Book page

*Clean front page

*Did I mean a clean page?

*Federated searching options

*RSS Feeds

They also posted an analysis of web site redesign results.   I found it helpful when thinking of changing our site.
