The Designing Librarian is a blog for librarians who care about web design and want to make library web sites easy-to-use and intuitive for their patrons. We welcome comments, debate and discussion!
Who we are:
Sue Davidsen
An Internet pioneer who designed the first public library on the Internet (it was so long ago, she was a gophermeister!). Sue has 23 years’ experience as a professional librarian and currently is the Director of Library Services at Walden University. Previously, Sue coordinated the Michigan eLibrary, a statewide online library for Michigan residents that has its roots in Sue’s original project from 14 years ago. Sue gives presentations throughout the United States and the United Kingdom on topics ranging from web design to the future of libraries in a digital world. She was originally trained as an opera singer.
Everyl Yankee
Everyl Yankee is a usability consultant who has been involved in user interface analysis, design and evaluation since 1982. She has worked in all phases of development for both software and web based commercial applications, including ten years’ experience with accessible interfaces and extensive experience consulting on e-commerce applications. She was the Usability Product Manager at ProQuest and works with public and university libraries on usability issues. Everyl currently serves as the usability specialist at Thomson Medstat and is almost finished with her library degree from Wayne State University. She’s spent so much time working with librarians, she realized she was one, too!
Together Sue and Everyl are the Authors of Web Site Design with the Patron in Mind: a Step-by-Step Guide for Libraries. See our Book page for ordering information.
