I love the San Jose Public Library website. It is simple, clean and makes a lot of sense. We keep working on our library’s website but it still doesn’t feel “right”. I think people mostly use the site to find out what programs are available at the library. That isn’t all bad. But, if that’s all they are accessing then why do we spend all the time and energy on the other “stuff” on the site? I’m trying to find examples of some “great” library websites to either confirm or deny my perspective. In that process I found Matt Anderson’s blog and his list of 20 great public library websites. Definitely worth checking out! Thank you, Matt!
