<br>Did your library's website growing quickly, perhaps without a clear
direction or consideration for responsive design? Do statistics show
that many pages on your site get low use? Sno-Isle Libraries is tackling
these issues. They will share how they structured their project, the
outcomes, and how they were able to get support for these unglamorous
yet important web projects. Leave this session knowing the benefits of
doing a website content analysis, usability studies, and the steps you
can take to put your own project into action.<br><br><b><br><span class=""><span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)">FREE! </span></span><span class="">03/05/14</span>
<a href="http://nwcentral.org/migrating-new-ils">Migrating To A New ILS</a><br></b><br>Your library's out-of-date ILS is running on an old server that needs to
be retired. You need to upgrade the ILS, but you don't know where to
start. Let me show you how to plan and execute this migration
successfully based on how my library did it and the assistance I have
provided to numerous other small libraries during their ILS migrations. I
will cover the Selection, Preparation, Migration and Follow-up that has
proven to be successful for my library and many others when migrating
to a new ILS.<br><br><b><span class=""><span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)">FREE! </span></span></b><span class=""><span style="color:rgb(204,0,0)"><b><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0)"><span class="">03/06/14</span></span>
