[Web4lib] website design

[Jonathan Bloy]

I would recommend the book "Don't make me think! : a common sense
approach to Web usability" by  Steve Krug.  It's one of my favorite web
design books.  I just checked Amazon and a 2nd edition is coming out in
August.

An excerpt of the book is available on the Author's website:

Subject: [Web4lib] website design

Could someone please recommend a good source (something short and easy
to access) of information about website design for academic libraries.
I'm not looking for help with creating a page or evaluating its
accessibility for disabled users. I'm just looking information about how
to structure the flow and visual layout of information effectively so
the website is user friendly for  patrons.

thank you !!!!
