SITE EVALUATIONS: Michael

Annie Halenbake Ross Library, Lock Haven, PA

• Nice clean design
• Link to Librarians' Internet Index
• Programs tab = simple solution to calendar events
  

Snyder County Libraries, Selinsgrove, PA

• Use of a programs tab rather than calendar
• Link to Fedstats from Reference Page
• Nice children and teens pages
  

Sparta Free Library, Sparta, WI

• Not such an attractive page
• Scrolling banner is an out-dated concept
• Inconsistent look / poor color choices
• Page could be 10 years old
  

The Colony Public Library, The Colony, TX

• Very basic
• A bit dull - needs pictures
• Link to city information page is nice
  

Things I've learned:

1. Pictures and graphics add interest to sites
2. We need to determine what links NPL would like to include in their Reference page
3. Will we be creating a Children's Page?
4. If add-on modules are going to be included - they look best if the interface is redesigned to work with the website design
