Title - Overcoming the Pitfalls of LibGuides through Design
This presentation will focus on two case examples of comprehensive LibGuide redesigns which aimed to depart from traditional usage of LibGuides with regard to design and layout. It will include a discussion of the HTML and CSS developed and the usability heuristics applied. I will also detail how I envision this type of content as a departure from standard usage of LibGuides at academic libraries, which often consists of bulleted lists of resources. This presentation will encourage the librarian community, especially the medical librarian community, to think of their LibGuides as web content deserving of the same attention to design, usability, and appearance as other online content.
