[Web4lib] Library Web site redesign

[Diana Myers Hyatt]

I value the expertise and opinions of this group, and
would like your comments about the redesign I'm
working on for the Riverside Public Library Web site,
as well as one done by the city's IT department (the
library wasn't consulted or notified on this one).

Here's the current site, which is really showing its
age: http://www.riversideca.gov/library/

Here's my redesign so far:
http://www.riversideca.gov/library/library4/
I've incorporated the city's banner design since
"everything looking the same" seems to be the ultimate
goal of their redesign.

And here's the one the city wants us to use:
http://www.riversideca.gov/library3/


Since I'm working on this redesign myself and there's
no one else at our library with a background in web
design, especially such issues as standards and
accessibility, I would greatly appreciate the honest
opinions and suggestions of this group. Take a look at
the style sheets and source code if you can. 

If you wish you can email me at
dhyatt at riversideca.gov.

Thanks for your two cents in advance,

Diana Myers Hyatt
Library Associate
City of Riverside Public Library
