*Meeting Details*

11:15 am - 12:00 pm

Presentation: Extreme Makeover: A User-Centered Redesign of the 
Worthington Libraries Web Site

Speaker: Kara Reuter, Digital Library Manager, Worthington Libraries

Library Web sites must serve a wide variety of audiences who seek to
accomplish many different tasks. This presentation will outline the
comprehensive, user-centered process used by Worthington Libraries to
complete the recent redesign of our library Web site
(http://worthingtonlibraries.org).

Learn how we used familiar methods, such as focus group discussions, 
surveys, and user testing, and less used approaches, such as 
card-sorting exercises and sticky-note sessions to gather feedback from 
members of our community and from library staff regarding their 
expectations of the library's Web site. Find out how we incorporated the 
extensive feedback we gathered to deliver a usable new Web site and 
dynamic online presence.


12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
*Lunch and Discussion*
Lunch will be a la Brown Bag in the meeting room.  A kitchenette
equipped with refrigerator and microwave for your convenience is located
adjacent to the Meeting Room.  Beverage vending machines are located in
the lobby.
