Member Library Spotlight
|
Alachua County is located in the heart of Florida. We are fortunate to work in a county where citizens support the education of our students. In 2008, the citizens voted in favor of a one mill property tax increase to fund art, music, media specialists, magnet programs, classroom technology and other vital programs and services. In 2012, 68% of Alachua County citizens voted to renew the one mill tax increase. The support doesn't stop there. Our 50 media specialists working in our 24 elementary schools, 8 middle schools, 6 high schools and 4 centers are passionate and dedicated to providing quality resources, access, collaborative service, literacy instruction and reading motivation. Monthly meetings provide time for training and sharing. The media department works collaboratively with the Instructional Technology and Instructional Materials Department to promote the use of technology and integrate the school curriculum and media.

Introduction to User Experience
for Libraries
Webinar
|
Wednesday, May 21
2:00pm - 3:00pm
Register here.
Design is more than choosing pretty colors. It's all about solving problems and even if you don't know it, you are a designer. You will be introduced the concept of User Experience (UX) thinking and illustrate how it can help improve your website, programs, services, and more. After this presentation you'll have a keener critical eye, and a framework with which you can make your library the most important place in your community.
