      Description

Your library's website should not be treated as a project. It is a 
place; a destination for your patrons. Like your physical library, your 
website needs ongoing maintenance and remodeling. In this workshop, Glen 
will discuss many of the practices and tools that will keep your site 
running optimally and offer enhanced experiences for your patrons.

Items that Glen will cover include:

    * Facilitating content management
    * Standards compliance and designing for devices
    * Making your site patron-centric
    * Search engine optimization to make your site findable
    * Integrating Web 2.0 tools such as maps, videos, and RSS feeds into
      your site


Attendees will get hands-on time with many of the tools and services 
discussed.


      Meal

No meal is provided with this event.


      Audience

Discussion will focus mainly on concepts and best practices. Technology, 
publicity, and administrative will take away great ideas for their 
library's website.
