Engaging Users The Future of Academic Library Web Sites
Shu Liu
This article examines current academic library Web site practices and recommends a conceptual model for future academic library Web site design The author investigated 111 ARL member library Web sites and has summarized current site content design patterns and innovative features The author discusses the Web 20 principles as defined by Tim OrsquoReilly and reviews the current literature on Web 20 implications for library Web services The author proposes making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommends a conceptual model to inform future academic library Web site design based on the investigation and the discussion Future academic library Web sites might feature any of the following 1) user focus 2) personalization 3) user engagement 4) online communities and 5) remixability
cademic library Web sites are librariesrsquo virtual presenta-tion to the world Beyond providing information about libraries and library services
academic library Web sites provide access to online catalogs electronic databases subject resources library instructiontu-torials and digital collections In align-ment with each institutionrsquos mission academic library Web sites are gateways to information that supports faculty and student research and educational needs Currently most academic library Web sites are inventories and access points for such information As the massive growth of Internet resources and new searching and sharing tools such as Google Ama-zon eBay uTube Flickr delicious and MySpace give users more power ease and fun in information seeking academic library Web sites face stiff competition in
the area of user preferences despite the fact that academic library Web sites pro-vide considerably higher quality and bet-ter scholarly information As Brian Detlor and Vivian Lewis point out ldquoAcademic libraries are at a turning pointrdquo1 Chuck Thomas and Robert H McDonald state ldquoLibraries are facing a new generation of online users who are technologically savvy and integrate information access and use in all spheres of their lives to an unprecedented degree They approach the traditional library with certain expec-tation that may conflict with the existing services policies and values of the library as information brokerrdquo2 Thomas Frey a senior futurist at the DaVinci Institute argues ldquohellip the library of the future will need to be designed to accommodate the changing needs of its constituencyrdquo3
ldquoWeb 20rdquo was introduced to the library world a couple of years ago The concept

The Future of Academic Library Web Sites 7
of Web 20 began with a conference brainstorming session between OrsquoReilly Media and MediaLive International in 2004 According to Tim OrsquoReilly Web 20 is a set of key principles demonstrating successful features of a new era of Inter-net companiesapplications These key principles include4
bull the Web as platform bull harnessing collective intelligence bull data is the next Intel inside (ldquoIntelrdquo
is used here as a metaphor to emphasize the importance of data)
bull end of the so ware release cycle bull lightweight programming models bull so ware above the level of a single
device bull rich user experiences OrsquoReilly himself later provided a
compact definition of Web 20 stating ldquoWeb 20 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform and an a empt to understand the rules for success on that new platform Chief among those rules is this Build applications that harness network effects to get be er the more people use themrdquo5
In this article I make recommenda-tions for future academic library Web site design inspired by the Web 20 key principles particularly the Web as plat-form harnessing collective intelligence lightweight programming models and rich user experiences These recommen-dations include the following
bull provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface
bull build a virtual space that facilitates rich user experiences
bull engage users and encourage collec-tive intelligence
bull support content sharing and nur-ture online communities
By implementing these recommenda-tions academic library Web sites will streamline and enrich usersrsquo experiences in interacting with and utilizing infor-mation throughout their learning and research activities and will keep up with rapid changes in user behaviors I used
the following methodology to arrive at these recommendations I chose to inves-tigate the Web sites of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) members6 to discover the current state of academic library Web sites ARL members are a well-defined set of academic libraries and include my own institution Colorado State University Libraries My discoveries have been documented in an appendix and I will summarize current content design pa erns and innovative features of those Web sites in this paper I will then discuss the key principles as defined by Tim OrsquoReilly and review the current lit-erature on Web 20 implications for library Web services Based on my investigation and discussion I will provide a con-ceptual model echoing the above-listed recommendations to inform future Web site design for academic libraries
Current State of Academic Library Web Sites This investigation was limited to those ARL member Web sites specifically af-filiated with a college or university and provided in the English language the sample consisted of a total number of 111 ARL members This investigation focused on content and design pa erns and was in most cases limited to library homepages My discoveries are detailed in Appendix 1 Use of specific examples is not intended to be pejorative or critical of specific library Web pages in part or in whole rather the examples are used to provide comparison among the various pages and a certain amount of subjectiv-ity is therefore unavoidable
Detlor and Lewis previously evalu-ated 107 ARL member Web sites to assess and measure library Web site functionality in a quantitative manner They used a codebook derived from the published literature that was dedicated to the design and usability of library Web sites and other related electronic interfaces They made recommendations surrounding a central argument ldquoaca-demic libraries build robust library Web

sites to combat increasing competition from commercial servicesrdquo7 Although I acknowledge Detlor and Lewisrsquo findings and insights the investigation for this paper differs from theirs in approach and comprehensiveness I used a snapshot of current academic library homepagesrsquo content and design as a basis for my recommendations A summary of the investigation appears below in the cat-egories of content design pa erns and innovative features
Content The following major content elements were identified on the library homep-ages
bull searchfind resources by format bull resources by subjectsubject
guides bull research assistancehow do Ihellip
help bull about (library)library informa-
tion bull library services bull search site andor site AndashZ bull ask a librarianask us bull newsannouncementsevents bull contact ussuggestions The following content elements were
less common but frequently appeared bull library account(s) bull digital collectionsWeb exhibits bull portals by user types such as stu-
dents faculty staff alumni friends and visitors
In general the homepage content is focused on and arranged according to library functions resources and services Online library information and resources are vast and comprehensive requir-ing multiple searching and browsing pathways Content typically follows a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach and there are few customization features and few opportunities for users to create publish and exchange content
Design Patterns The following design pa erns appeared on the library homepages
bull columns by category bull horizontal sections by category bull mixed columns and horizontal sec-
tions bull four equally divided sections with
sidebar(s) bull mouse-over links with sidebar(s) Most library homepages have an over-
whelming amount of text and links Afew academic libraries are less text and link focused by employing a more graphical design8
Innovative Features About thirty libraries employed RSS (Re-ally Simple Syndication)9 for library news and events (see Appendix 2)
Four library Web sites provide per-sonalized library spaces named ldquoMy Libraryrdquo ldquoMy Personal Libraryrdquo or ldquoMy Search Spacerdquo aggregating into one spot access to library user accounts course re-serve materials library alerts databases citation tools andor search preferences results10 On nine library homepageslinks are provided to a university-level Web portal or centralized Web service11
Ten library homepages provide a ldquoGoogle Scholarrdquo search box or a direct link to search Google Scholar12 Two li-brary homepages also provide a link to search ldquoWindows Live Academicrdquo13
Live Chat as a reference communica-tion method appears on almost all library homepages The table below illustrates other unique and user-friendly innova-tive features
Web 20 Principles and Implications Some Web 20 transformations accord-ing to OrsquoReilly include the evolutions from Britannica Online to Wikipedia from personal Web sites to blogging from publishing to participation from content management systems to wikis from directories (taxonomy) to tagging (ldquofolksonomyrdquomdash general usersrsquo classifi-cations of Internet resources) and from stickiness (static Web pages manual update) to syndication (dynamic Web pages auto update)14

FIGURE 1 Transformation in the Relationship between Users and Information
Information + Users InformationUsers
Traditional relationship Web 20 relationship
As the ldquoreadwrite Web rdquo the ldquocollab-orative Webrdquo or the ldquoexpressive Webrdquo Web 20 is an ldquoorganicrdquo information en-vironment where user engagement adds value Web 20 tools ldquoset inclusive defaults for aggregating user data and building value as a side effect of ordinary use of the applicationrdquo15 The more users partici-pate the more value a service provides users connect with inspire help and improve one another through the servicersquos participation mechanisms the servicersquos user-generated content is then available over the network for reuse In the Web 20 era the relationship between users and information is transformed from stand-alone separate silos to mutually inclusive mutually reliant and reciprocal action-and-reaction entities The diagram below illustrates this point
The Web 20 culture also includes syndication of dynamic content and lightweight programservice models to create usable and exciting innovations called ldquomashupsrdquo Mashups challenge the imaginations of information designers and providers to create and deliver more usable tools and be er services over the Internet As OrsquoReilly states ldquothink syn-dication not coordinationrdquo ldquoinnovation [is] in assemblyrdquo16 Relating to recognition of the idea (or already a fact) that in the Web 20 era users and information are integrated I consider it legitimate to say ldquoWeb 20 = users + mashupsrdquo OrsquoReillyrsquos Web 20 application examples include Google eBay Amazon Wikipedia blog-
ging RSS delicious17 (a social bookmark-ing Web site) Flicker18 (a photo sharing Web site) iTunes19 (a digital media player by Apple) TiVo20 (a popular brand of digi-tal video recorder in the United States) andAJAX21 (a programming technique for creating interactive Web applications)
Several librarians and information researchers have recognized the implica-tions of Web 20 principles on library Web services Karen Coombs Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries proposed four principles to construct a concept of ldquoLibrary Virtual Presence in 2010rdquo ldquo1 A libraryrsquos virtual presence will be more than the libraryrsquos web site 2 A libraryrsquos web site will be responsive to the needs of users 3 Through a comprehensive effort in digital collection building the libraryrsquos virtual presence will exploit unique materials in its collections 4 Users will be able to come to the site not only to search for information but also to collaborate and share ideasrdquo22 Doug Achterman the library media teacher at San Benito High School in Hollister California discussed the use of blogs and wikis (the most popular applications of Web 20) in a school se ing to promote school library programs advance instructional practice in collaboration with classroom teachers and connect with students23 Elizabeth Yakel Associate Professor at the School of Information University of Michigan investigated ways in which Web 20 fea-tures are being used in archival access

systems (such as live chat reference tag-gingcommenting bookbagsshopping carts and recommender systemsratings) and how more might be incorporated in the future24 Jack M Maness Librarian Computer Science Bibliographer at the University of Colorado Boulder Librar-ies addressed how Web 20 technologies (such as synchronous messaging stream-ing media blogs wikis social networks tagging RSS feeds and mashups) might intimate changes in how libraries pro-vide access to their collections and user support25 Edward J Maloney Director of Research and Learning Technologies at Georgetown University discussed the challenges that Web 20 poses to e-learning technologies in higher educa-tion and proposed a Digital Notebook project as one model to ldquoincorporate the paradigm-altering technologies of Web 20 into teaching and learningrdquo26 In ad-dition University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions (2006ndash2010) declared ldquoexpand our virtual presencerdquo as their first strategic principle and ldquoinclude content on the Librariesrsquo web site that is interactive engaging and participatoryrdquo in their course of action27
Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of

links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

The Future of Academic Library Web Sites 7
of Web 20 began with a conference brainstorming session between OrsquoReilly Media and MediaLive International in 2004 According to Tim OrsquoReilly Web 20 is a set of key principles demonstrating successful features of a new era of Inter-net companiesapplications These key principles include4
bull the Web as platform bull harnessing collective intelligence bull data is the next Intel inside (ldquoIntelrdquo
is used here as a metaphor to emphasize the importance of data)
bull end of the so ware release cycle bull lightweight programming models bull so ware above the level of a single
device bull rich user experiences OrsquoReilly himself later provided a
compact definition of Web 20 stating ldquoWeb 20 is the business revolution in the computer industry caused by the move to the internet as platform and an a empt to understand the rules for success on that new platform Chief among those rules is this Build applications that harness network effects to get be er the more people use themrdquo5
In this article I make recommenda-tions for future academic library Web site design inspired by the Web 20 key principles particularly the Web as plat-form harnessing collective intelligence lightweight programming models and rich user experiences These recommen-dations include the following
bull provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface
bull build a virtual space that facilitates rich user experiences
bull engage users and encourage collec-tive intelligence
bull support content sharing and nur-ture online communities
By implementing these recommenda-tions academic library Web sites will streamline and enrich usersrsquo experiences in interacting with and utilizing infor-mation throughout their learning and research activities and will keep up with rapid changes in user behaviors I used
the following methodology to arrive at these recommendations I chose to inves-tigate the Web sites of the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) members6 to discover the current state of academic library Web sites ARL members are a well-defined set of academic libraries and include my own institution Colorado State University Libraries My discoveries have been documented in an appendix and I will summarize current content design pa erns and innovative features of those Web sites in this paper I will then discuss the key principles as defined by Tim OrsquoReilly and review the current lit-erature on Web 20 implications for library Web services Based on my investigation and discussion I will provide a con-ceptual model echoing the above-listed recommendations to inform future Web site design for academic libraries
Current State of Academic Library Web Sites This investigation was limited to those ARL member Web sites specifically af-filiated with a college or university and provided in the English language the sample consisted of a total number of 111 ARL members This investigation focused on content and design pa erns and was in most cases limited to library homepages My discoveries are detailed in Appendix 1 Use of specific examples is not intended to be pejorative or critical of specific library Web pages in part or in whole rather the examples are used to provide comparison among the various pages and a certain amount of subjectiv-ity is therefore unavoidable
Detlor and Lewis previously evalu-ated 107 ARL member Web sites to assess and measure library Web site functionality in a quantitative manner They used a codebook derived from the published literature that was dedicated to the design and usability of library Web sites and other related electronic interfaces They made recommendations surrounding a central argument ldquoaca-demic libraries build robust library Web
8 College amp Research Libraries January 2008
sites to combat increasing competition from commercial servicesrdquo7 Although I acknowledge Detlor and Lewisrsquo findings and insights the investigation for this paper differs from theirs in approach and comprehensiveness I used a snapshot of current academic library homepagesrsquo content and design as a basis for my recommendations A summary of the investigation appears below in the cat-egories of content design pa erns and innovative features
Content The following major content elements were identified on the library homep-ages
bull searchfind resources by format bull resources by subjectsubject
guides bull research assistancehow do Ihellip
help bull about (library)library informa-
tion bull library services bull search site andor site AndashZ bull ask a librarianask us bull newsannouncementsevents bull contact ussuggestions The following content elements were
less common but frequently appeared bull library account(s) bull digital collectionsWeb exhibits bull portals by user types such as stu-
dents faculty staff alumni friends and visitors
In general the homepage content is focused on and arranged according to library functions resources and services Online library information and resources are vast and comprehensive requir-ing multiple searching and browsing pathways Content typically follows a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach and there are few customization features and few opportunities for users to create publish and exchange content
Design Patterns The following design pa erns appeared on the library homepages
bull columns by category bull horizontal sections by category bull mixed columns and horizontal sec-
tions bull four equally divided sections with
sidebar(s) bull mouse-over links with sidebar(s) Most library homepages have an over-
whelming amount of text and links Afew academic libraries are less text and link focused by employing a more graphical design8
Innovative Features About thirty libraries employed RSS (Re-ally Simple Syndication)9 for library news and events (see Appendix 2)
Four library Web sites provide per-sonalized library spaces named ldquoMy Libraryrdquo ldquoMy Personal Libraryrdquo or ldquoMy Search Spacerdquo aggregating into one spot access to library user accounts course re-serve materials library alerts databases citation tools andor search preferences results10 On nine library homepageslinks are provided to a university-level Web portal or centralized Web service11
Ten library homepages provide a ldquoGoogle Scholarrdquo search box or a direct link to search Google Scholar12 Two li-brary homepages also provide a link to search ldquoWindows Live Academicrdquo13
Live Chat as a reference communica-tion method appears on almost all library homepages The table below illustrates other unique and user-friendly innova-tive features
Web 20 Principles and Implications Some Web 20 transformations accord-ing to OrsquoReilly include the evolutions from Britannica Online to Wikipedia from personal Web sites to blogging from publishing to participation from content management systems to wikis from directories (taxonomy) to tagging (ldquofolksonomyrdquomdash general usersrsquo classifi-cations of Internet resources) and from stickiness (static Web pages manual update) to syndication (dynamic Web pages auto update)14

FIGURE 1 Transformation in the Relationship between Users and Information
Information + Users InformationUsers
Traditional relationship Web 20 relationship
As the ldquoreadwrite Web rdquo the ldquocollab-orative Webrdquo or the ldquoexpressive Webrdquo Web 20 is an ldquoorganicrdquo information en-vironment where user engagement adds value Web 20 tools ldquoset inclusive defaults for aggregating user data and building value as a side effect of ordinary use of the applicationrdquo15 The more users partici-pate the more value a service provides users connect with inspire help and improve one another through the servicersquos participation mechanisms the servicersquos user-generated content is then available over the network for reuse In the Web 20 era the relationship between users and information is transformed from stand-alone separate silos to mutually inclusive mutually reliant and reciprocal action-and-reaction entities The diagram below illustrates this point
The Web 20 culture also includes syndication of dynamic content and lightweight programservice models to create usable and exciting innovations called ldquomashupsrdquo Mashups challenge the imaginations of information designers and providers to create and deliver more usable tools and be er services over the Internet As OrsquoReilly states ldquothink syn-dication not coordinationrdquo ldquoinnovation [is] in assemblyrdquo16 Relating to recognition of the idea (or already a fact) that in the Web 20 era users and information are integrated I consider it legitimate to say ldquoWeb 20 = users + mashupsrdquo OrsquoReillyrsquos Web 20 application examples include Google eBay Amazon Wikipedia blog-
ging RSS delicious17 (a social bookmark-ing Web site) Flicker18 (a photo sharing Web site) iTunes19 (a digital media player by Apple) TiVo20 (a popular brand of digi-tal video recorder in the United States) andAJAX21 (a programming technique for creating interactive Web applications)
Several librarians and information researchers have recognized the implica-tions of Web 20 principles on library Web services Karen Coombs Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries proposed four principles to construct a concept of ldquoLibrary Virtual Presence in 2010rdquo ldquo1 A libraryrsquos virtual presence will be more than the libraryrsquos web site 2 A libraryrsquos web site will be responsive to the needs of users 3 Through a comprehensive effort in digital collection building the libraryrsquos virtual presence will exploit unique materials in its collections 4 Users will be able to come to the site not only to search for information but also to collaborate and share ideasrdquo22 Doug Achterman the library media teacher at San Benito High School in Hollister California discussed the use of blogs and wikis (the most popular applications of Web 20) in a school se ing to promote school library programs advance instructional practice in collaboration with classroom teachers and connect with students23 Elizabeth Yakel Associate Professor at the School of Information University of Michigan investigated ways in which Web 20 fea-tures are being used in archival access

systems (such as live chat reference tag-gingcommenting bookbagsshopping carts and recommender systemsratings) and how more might be incorporated in the future24 Jack M Maness Librarian Computer Science Bibliographer at the University of Colorado Boulder Librar-ies addressed how Web 20 technologies (such as synchronous messaging stream-ing media blogs wikis social networks tagging RSS feeds and mashups) might intimate changes in how libraries pro-vide access to their collections and user support25 Edward J Maloney Director of Research and Learning Technologies at Georgetown University discussed the challenges that Web 20 poses to e-learning technologies in higher educa-tion and proposed a Digital Notebook project as one model to ldquoincorporate the paradigm-altering technologies of Web 20 into teaching and learningrdquo26 In ad-dition University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions (2006ndash2010) declared ldquoexpand our virtual presencerdquo as their first strategic principle and ldquoinclude content on the Librariesrsquo web site that is interactive engaging and participatoryrdquo in their course of action27
Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of
The Future of Academic Library Web Sites 13
links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

sites to combat increasing competition from commercial servicesrdquo7 Although I acknowledge Detlor and Lewisrsquo findings and insights the investigation for this paper differs from theirs in approach and comprehensiveness I used a snapshot of current academic library homepagesrsquo content and design as a basis for my recommendations A summary of the investigation appears below in the cat-egories of content design pa erns and innovative features
Content The following major content elements were identified on the library homep-ages
bull searchfind resources by format bull resources by subjectsubject
guides bull research assistancehow do Ihellip
help bull about (library)library informa-
tion bull library services bull search site andor site AndashZ bull ask a librarianask us bull newsannouncementsevents bull contact ussuggestions The following content elements were
less common but frequently appeared bull library account(s) bull digital collectionsWeb exhibits bull portals by user types such as stu-
dents faculty staff alumni friends and visitors
In general the homepage content is focused on and arranged according to library functions resources and services Online library information and resources are vast and comprehensive requir-ing multiple searching and browsing pathways Content typically follows a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach and there are few customization features and few opportunities for users to create publish and exchange content
Design Patterns The following design pa erns appeared on the library homepages
bull columns by category bull horizontal sections by category bull mixed columns and horizontal sec-
tions bull four equally divided sections with
sidebar(s) bull mouse-over links with sidebar(s) Most library homepages have an over-
whelming amount of text and links Afew academic libraries are less text and link focused by employing a more graphical design8
Innovative Features About thirty libraries employed RSS (Re-ally Simple Syndication)9 for library news and events (see Appendix 2)
Four library Web sites provide per-sonalized library spaces named ldquoMy Libraryrdquo ldquoMy Personal Libraryrdquo or ldquoMy Search Spacerdquo aggregating into one spot access to library user accounts course re-serve materials library alerts databases citation tools andor search preferences results10 On nine library homepageslinks are provided to a university-level Web portal or centralized Web service11
Ten library homepages provide a ldquoGoogle Scholarrdquo search box or a direct link to search Google Scholar12 Two li-brary homepages also provide a link to search ldquoWindows Live Academicrdquo13
Live Chat as a reference communica-tion method appears on almost all library homepages The table below illustrates other unique and user-friendly innova-tive features
Web 20 Principles and Implications Some Web 20 transformations accord-ing to OrsquoReilly include the evolutions from Britannica Online to Wikipedia from personal Web sites to blogging from publishing to participation from content management systems to wikis from directories (taxonomy) to tagging (ldquofolksonomyrdquomdash general usersrsquo classifi-cations of Internet resources) and from stickiness (static Web pages manual update) to syndication (dynamic Web pages auto update)14

FIGURE 1 Transformation in the Relationship between Users and Information
Information + Users InformationUsers
Traditional relationship Web 20 relationship
As the ldquoreadwrite Web rdquo the ldquocollab-orative Webrdquo or the ldquoexpressive Webrdquo Web 20 is an ldquoorganicrdquo information en-vironment where user engagement adds value Web 20 tools ldquoset inclusive defaults for aggregating user data and building value as a side effect of ordinary use of the applicationrdquo15 The more users partici-pate the more value a service provides users connect with inspire help and improve one another through the servicersquos participation mechanisms the servicersquos user-generated content is then available over the network for reuse In the Web 20 era the relationship between users and information is transformed from stand-alone separate silos to mutually inclusive mutually reliant and reciprocal action-and-reaction entities The diagram below illustrates this point
The Web 20 culture also includes syndication of dynamic content and lightweight programservice models to create usable and exciting innovations called ldquomashupsrdquo Mashups challenge the imaginations of information designers and providers to create and deliver more usable tools and be er services over the Internet As OrsquoReilly states ldquothink syn-dication not coordinationrdquo ldquoinnovation [is] in assemblyrdquo16 Relating to recognition of the idea (or already a fact) that in the Web 20 era users and information are integrated I consider it legitimate to say ldquoWeb 20 = users + mashupsrdquo OrsquoReillyrsquos Web 20 application examples include Google eBay Amazon Wikipedia blog-
ging RSS delicious17 (a social bookmark-ing Web site) Flicker18 (a photo sharing Web site) iTunes19 (a digital media player by Apple) TiVo20 (a popular brand of digi-tal video recorder in the United States) andAJAX21 (a programming technique for creating interactive Web applications)
Several librarians and information researchers have recognized the implica-tions of Web 20 principles on library Web services Karen Coombs Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries proposed four principles to construct a concept of ldquoLibrary Virtual Presence in 2010rdquo ldquo1 A libraryrsquos virtual presence will be more than the libraryrsquos web site 2 A libraryrsquos web site will be responsive to the needs of users 3 Through a comprehensive effort in digital collection building the libraryrsquos virtual presence will exploit unique materials in its collections 4 Users will be able to come to the site not only to search for information but also to collaborate and share ideasrdquo22 Doug Achterman the library media teacher at San Benito High School in Hollister California discussed the use of blogs and wikis (the most popular applications of Web 20) in a school se ing to promote school library programs advance instructional practice in collaboration with classroom teachers and connect with students23 Elizabeth Yakel Associate Professor at the School of Information University of Michigan investigated ways in which Web 20 fea-tures are being used in archival access

systems (such as live chat reference tag-gingcommenting bookbagsshopping carts and recommender systemsratings) and how more might be incorporated in the future24 Jack M Maness Librarian Computer Science Bibliographer at the University of Colorado Boulder Librar-ies addressed how Web 20 technologies (such as synchronous messaging stream-ing media blogs wikis social networks tagging RSS feeds and mashups) might intimate changes in how libraries pro-vide access to their collections and user support25 Edward J Maloney Director of Research and Learning Technologies at Georgetown University discussed the challenges that Web 20 poses to e-learning technologies in higher educa-tion and proposed a Digital Notebook project as one model to ldquoincorporate the paradigm-altering technologies of Web 20 into teaching and learningrdquo26 In ad-dition University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions (2006ndash2010) declared ldquoexpand our virtual presencerdquo as their first strategic principle and ldquoinclude content on the Librariesrsquo web site that is interactive engaging and participatoryrdquo in their course of action27
Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo [Learn about new research toolsstrategies]
To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of
The Future of Academic Library Web Sites 13
links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

FIGURE 1 Transformation in the Relationship between Users and Information
Information + Users InformationUsers
Traditional relationship Web 20 relationship
As the ldquoreadwrite Web rdquo the ldquocollab-orative Webrdquo or the ldquoexpressive Webrdquo Web 20 is an ldquoorganicrdquo information en-vironment where user engagement adds value Web 20 tools ldquoset inclusive defaults for aggregating user data and building value as a side effect of ordinary use of the applicationrdquo15 The more users partici-pate the more value a service provides users connect with inspire help and improve one another through the servicersquos participation mechanisms the servicersquos user-generated content is then available over the network for reuse In the Web 20 era the relationship between users and information is transformed from stand-alone separate silos to mutually inclusive mutually reliant and reciprocal action-and-reaction entities The diagram below illustrates this point
The Web 20 culture also includes syndication of dynamic content and lightweight programservice models to create usable and exciting innovations called ldquomashupsrdquo Mashups challenge the imaginations of information designers and providers to create and deliver more usable tools and be er services over the Internet As OrsquoReilly states ldquothink syn-dication not coordinationrdquo ldquoinnovation [is] in assemblyrdquo16 Relating to recognition of the idea (or already a fact) that in the Web 20 era users and information are integrated I consider it legitimate to say ldquoWeb 20 = users + mashupsrdquo OrsquoReillyrsquos Web 20 application examples include Google eBay Amazon Wikipedia blog-
ging RSS delicious17 (a social bookmark-ing Web site) Flicker18 (a photo sharing Web site) iTunes19 (a digital media player by Apple) TiVo20 (a popular brand of digi-tal video recorder in the United States) andAJAX21 (a programming technique for creating interactive Web applications)
Several librarians and information researchers have recognized the implica-tions of Web 20 principles on library Web services Karen Coombs Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries proposed four principles to construct a concept of ldquoLibrary Virtual Presence in 2010rdquo ldquo1 A libraryrsquos virtual presence will be more than the libraryrsquos web site 2 A libraryrsquos web site will be responsive to the needs of users 3 Through a comprehensive effort in digital collection building the libraryrsquos virtual presence will exploit unique materials in its collections 4 Users will be able to come to the site not only to search for information but also to collaborate and share ideasrdquo22 Doug Achterman the library media teacher at San Benito High School in Hollister California discussed the use of blogs and wikis (the most popular applications of Web 20) in a school se ing to promote school library programs advance instructional practice in collaboration with classroom teachers and connect with students23 Elizabeth Yakel Associate Professor at the School of Information University of Michigan investigated ways in which Web 20 fea-tures are being used in archival access

systems (such as live chat reference tag-gingcommenting bookbagsshopping carts and recommender systemsratings) and how more might be incorporated in the future24 Jack M Maness Librarian Computer Science Bibliographer at the University of Colorado Boulder Librar-ies addressed how Web 20 technologies (such as synchronous messaging stream-ing media blogs wikis social networks tagging RSS feeds and mashups) might intimate changes in how libraries pro-vide access to their collections and user support25 Edward J Maloney Director of Research and Learning Technologies at Georgetown University discussed the challenges that Web 20 poses to e-learning technologies in higher educa-tion and proposed a Digital Notebook project as one model to ldquoincorporate the paradigm-altering technologies of Web 20 into teaching and learningrdquo26 In ad-dition University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions (2006ndash2010) declared ldquoexpand our virtual presencerdquo as their first strategic principle and ldquoinclude content on the Librariesrsquo web site that is interactive engaging and participatoryrdquo in their course of action27
Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo [Learn about new research toolsstrategies]
To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of

links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

FIGURE 1 Transformation in the Relationship between Users and Information
Information + Users InformationUsers
Traditional relationship Web 20 relationship
As the ldquoreadwrite Web rdquo the ldquocollab-orative Webrdquo or the ldquoexpressive Webrdquo Web 20 is an ldquoorganicrdquo information en-vironment where user engagement adds value Web 20 tools ldquoset inclusive defaults for aggregating user data and building value as a side effect of ordinary use of the applicationrdquo15 The more users partici-pate the more value a service provides users connect with inspire help and improve one another through the servicersquos participation mechanisms the servicersquos user-generated content is then available over the network for reuse In the Web 20 era the relationship between users and information is transformed from stand-alone separate silos to mutually inclusive mutually reliant and reciprocal action-and-reaction entities The diagram below illustrates this point
The Web 20 culture also includes syndication of dynamic content and lightweight programservice models to create usable and exciting innovations called ldquomashupsrdquo Mashups challenge the imaginations of information designers and providers to create and deliver more usable tools and be er services over the Internet As OrsquoReilly states ldquothink syn-dication not coordinationrdquo ldquoinnovation [is] in assemblyrdquo16 Relating to recognition of the idea (or already a fact) that in the Web 20 era users and information are integrated I consider it legitimate to say ldquoWeb 20 = users + mashupsrdquo OrsquoReillyrsquos Web 20 application examples include Google eBay Amazon Wikipedia blog-
ging RSS delicious17 (a social bookmark-ing Web site) Flicker18 (a photo sharing Web site) iTunes19 (a digital media player by Apple) TiVo20 (a popular brand of digi-tal video recorder in the United States) andAJAX21 (a programming technique for creating interactive Web applications)
Several librarians and information researchers have recognized the implica-tions of Web 20 principles on library Web services Karen Coombs Head of Web Services at the University of Houston Libraries proposed four principles to construct a concept of ldquoLibrary Virtual Presence in 2010rdquo ldquo1 A libraryrsquos virtual presence will be more than the libraryrsquos web site 2 A libraryrsquos web site will be responsive to the needs of users 3 Through a comprehensive effort in digital collection building the libraryrsquos virtual presence will exploit unique materials in its collections 4 Users will be able to come to the site not only to search for information but also to collaborate and share ideasrdquo22 Doug Achterman the library media teacher at San Benito High School in Hollister California discussed the use of blogs and wikis (the most popular applications of Web 20) in a school se ing to promote school library programs advance instructional practice in collaboration with classroom teachers and connect with students23 Elizabeth Yakel Associate Professor at the School of Information University of Michigan investigated ways in which Web 20 fea-tures are being used in archival access

systems (such as live chat reference tag-gingcommenting bookbagsshopping carts and recommender systemsratings) and how more might be incorporated in the future24 Jack M Maness Librarian Computer Science Bibliographer at the University of Colorado Boulder Librar-ies addressed how Web 20 technologies (such as synchronous messaging stream-ing media blogs wikis social networks tagging RSS feeds and mashups) might intimate changes in how libraries pro-vide access to their collections and user support25 Edward J Maloney Director of Research and Learning Technologies at Georgetown University discussed the challenges that Web 20 poses to e-learning technologies in higher educa-tion and proposed a Digital Notebook project as one model to ldquoincorporate the paradigm-altering technologies of Web 20 into teaching and learningrdquo26 In ad-dition University of Houston Libraries Strategic Directions (2006ndash2010) declared ldquoexpand our virtual presencerdquo as their first strategic principle and ldquoinclude content on the Librariesrsquo web site that is interactive engaging and participatoryrdquo in their course of action27
Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo [Learn about new research toolsstrategies]
To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of

links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

Recommendations The core value of libraries is the service they provide to their users The ultimate goal of academic library Web sites is to make preselected and preserved in-formation readily available to users for their educational and research needs The investigation described at the begin-ning of this article reveals that current academic library Web sites have made significant efforts and are successful in pu ing available information online and providing users with complete access to online library resources and services Several academic library Web sites have employed innovative features that bring users closer to what libraries have to offer and encourage some level of user engagement (see table 1) However the universe of information presented on academic library homepages still focuses on library functions requires numerous pathways for access has overwhelming options and takes a ldquoone-design-for-allrdquo approach that fails to recognize users as individuals In addition few current academic library Web sites offer op-portunities for users to create and share user-generated content

ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo [Learn about new research toolsstrategies]
To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of

links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

To capitalize on the insights of a vari-ety of information professionals on the Web 20 culture and to take action on these observations I propose making the academic library Web site a virtual place and recommend a three-part conceptual model described in details below Before beginning I would like to note that the suggested model only demonstrates what users might want Technological details usability testing and privacyliability is-sues need to be further explored beyond this paper
Library Homepage Reduce the intimidating appearance of library homepagesrsquo by using as li le text and linking as possible to convey only the most necessary access points and by employing an appealing graphical design that accommodates usability and acces-sibility requirements I suggest using a portal approach where users first identify themselves as belonging to one of several
general groups (for example graduate students or undergraduate students) Each group-specific portal would then lead a user to a specific set of resources customized for the group Label each portal with a graphic or a color Figure 2 illustrates the first part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a li-brary homepage (graphics and colors are not applied in this illustration)
Library Portal Page Once a group-specific portal page is se-lected a user may navigate among a cus-tomized set of resources or may choose to create or log in to a personal library space Figure 3 illustrates the second part of the conceptual model and provides an example of a library portal page for the user group of undergraduate students
Content in the le main body is adjust-ed accordingly For example on a portal page for the user group of faculty and staff that portion of the page could be a list of

links to the libraryrsquos catalog or the libraryrsquos federated searching system (ideally feder-ated searching is an aggregated search of all library resources such as catalogs research databases digital collections and so on) an e-journals list a databases list a scholarly Internet resources list a scholarly publishers list a subject librarians list and the ldquoDiscovery Channelrdquo (that is a themed section for users to learn about new research toolsstrategies)
To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo
ldquoMy Library Spacerdquo My Library Space is a one-stop informa-tion environment for an individual user and provides a combined set of informa-tion technology tools for use A user may customize the interface and select what toolslinks to usedisplay in the space according to personal need Within My Library Space a user can save and ac-cess preferred library resources interact with others using preferred tools (such as instant messaging e-mail and bulletin board) work with datadocumentation online create and share content (using blog wiki or podcast) and integrate schoolwork activities A user may wish to create a personal library space for either or both of the rich user experiences and the ldquoone-stop-shoppingrdquo capabilities it provides Figure 4 illustrates the last part of the conceptual model and provides an

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands

To create a personal library space a user would need to enter basic required information such as name e-mail and user type Once a user account is created and authentication is completed a user may then create a profile to list optional information such as college department major year in school specialization re-search interests personal interests and ldquoWhat I most use the library forhelliprdquo

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn

example of a My Library Space regardless of user type
This conceptual model demonstrates ways in which Web 20 principles might be incorporated into future academic li-brary Web site design The recommended design will provide an efficient flexible and user-oriented interface and thus minimize the distance between users and library resourcesservices This effort will require collaborative experimentation among librarians and information tech-nology professionals The back-end work will be extensive demanding continuous creativity and exploration Meanwhile the convenience and rich experiences we offer users will be very rewarding
Based on this conceptual model fu-ture academic library web sites might feature
1 User focus focus on library users by presenting library resources in a targeted and customized manner
2 Personalization recognize library users as individuals by giving them op-portunities to configure their own library interfaces and to select tools and content based on personal needs
3 User engagement provide suffi-cient tools to allow and encourage library users in content creation and exchange
4 Online communities nurture the development of online communities by connecting individuals through online publishing and sharing tools such as blogs wikis podcasting and tagging
5 Remixability employ a mashup ap-
proach to aggregate current and emerging information technologies to provide li-brary users with opportunities to explore new possibilities to discover and work with information resources
Conclusion Rachel Singer Gordon states ldquoL2 (Library 20) recognizes that each library imple-ments technology and services in ways appropriate to its community We all start from different points and have different needs Embrace this one-size-doesnrsquot-fit-all approachrdquo28 In conclusion future academic library Web sites should
bull switch the focus from presenting information arranged according to library functions and resources to providing tar-geted and customizable tools and services to library users
bull design a seamless one-stop in-formation environment that minimizes usersrsquo way-finding effort and nurtures the formation and dissemination of knowledge ideas and experiences and
bull respond to usersrsquo changing needs and give users opportunities to express share and learn
The OCLC College Studentsrsquo Per-ceptions of Libraries and Information Resources A Report to the OCLC Mem-bership (2005) pointed out that ldquoIt is time to rejuvenate the lsquoLibraryrsquo brandrdquo29
The opportunity to be responsive to the changing information environment and rejuvenate academic library Web sites is now in our hands
