Chapter 2: Tweaks We’ve Made to the Digital Branch

Abstract

Chapter 2 of Library Technology Reports (vol. 48, no. 6) “Running the Digital Branch: Guidelines for Operating the Library Website” by David Lee King describes adjustments that were made to the front and back ends of the Topeka & Shawnee County Public Library digital branch to improve functionality for customers and staff. Changes included migrating to WordPress, a better separation of static and ephemeral content, a shortened main page for the website, and reworked blogs. The chapter also discusses cleanup work and other small tweaks that were made after the redesign.
