Chapter 1. Overcoming Preconceptions of the Perfect Library Website: Anecdotes versus Research

Abstract

Perhaps the most common question I get from webinar attendees is, “Can you recommend a website that we should try to emulate?” This makes sense: I’ve probably spent an hour going on about library website dos and don’ts, so that logically raises the question “Do you have an example of the perfect library website?” Not only is this the most common question I get, it’s also the hardest one for me to answer.
