it's all about the user: enhancing discovery with open source software
DESCRIPTION
The Ithaca College Library uses SubjectsPlus, an open source product, to manage its resource guides and other aspects of the Library's web site, with the ultimate goal of creating a user-centered web presence. During this presentation, two Ithaca College librarians will demonstrate the flexibility of SubjectsPlus and the freedom it provides in terms of content creation. We will review the use of collected data in web-based resource/service development and address some of the general issues involved in the implementation and maintenance of open source software in a medium sized academic library.TRANSCRIPT
