New Staff Training Manual: Website

Philosophy

The Library & Gallery website is maintained by the Library's webmaster. 

The main goals of the website are as follows:

  • Website design highlights research functions and provides a clear path to core tasks. (For the purpose of design, we consider students and faculty to be our primary users.)
  • Users can access online resources and information.
  • ‘Ask a Librarian’ button or contact information is visible during core user tasks.
  • The Library website meets WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility guidelines (http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/) and is regularly evaluated with the WAVE tool (http://wave.webaim.org/).
  • Use responsive design to allow users to access the site with their preferred devices.
