By improving the user experience of the council page and other main library e-resource pages, this will then appeal the community to gain the exposure of technology. Members will be intact with the current trends of 2.0 Libraries at a fast-paced environment. Just to have a say and input of the current 2.0 technologies that my local library does not provide yet - I have come up with a list below some examples that could make this transition happen in the near future, this includes:
- Children & Family - Social networking page to promote library programs -
- Adult Fiction - Book reviews option on the library online catalogue -
- Information/Reference - Live reference service to support regular library users, who are mainly from Afghanistan, China, Turkey, Nepal and Sri Lanka -
- Youth - Interactive online gaming sessions for youth groups e.g. trivia, puzzles etc.
- Local Studies - Auburn Library community database: covering various topics
Harvey your recommendations are excellent. Being able to easily navigate a website is so important, quite often I will leave a website if it is too difficult to find things. Hopefully Auburn can improve in this area. A family member is a maths teacher in the Auburn area and finds it such a dynamic and welcoming community. The library is very supportive of its local high school students and ensures they keep up to date with study guides etc and takes advice from local teachers on resources required.
