Main Reading Room, Library of Congress, Washington, DC

The Sea Creatures, who recently sent their recording “Naked in the Rain” to the Library of Congress, probably did not ponder the impact of sequestration on their music’s journey from dream to copyright.

Just as military contractors, air traffic controllers and federal workers are coping with the grim results of a partisan impasse over the federal deficit, the Library of Congress, whose services range from copyrighting written works — whether famous novels or poems scribbled on napkins — to the collection, preservation and digitization of millions of books, photographs, maps and other materials, faces deep cuts that threaten its historic mission.

Buena Vista Lagoon, southern California from Digital Public Library of America

Megan Geuss writes: “One year ago, a group of professors, librarians, and futurists gathered in San Francisco to discuss how they would go about building a Digital Public Library of America. On April 18, the founders of the DPLA made good on their promise. The website allows users to browse more than two million archived books, images, records, and sounds. The content comes from the libraries of institutions like Harvard University, the Internet Archive, and the Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco Public Libraries. But one of the best things about DPLA so far is Harvard’s StackLife app.”  –Ars Technica, Apr. 21

April launched the beginning of the library website redesign team soliciting feedback from the La Verne community.  We started with a very basic user survey asking what you come to the Wilson Library website to do, what you like, dislike, and if anything was missing.  While we had a smallish group of responses (just over 300), the results gave us a  considerable amount of ideas and data to consider.  Even though the focus of the questions were the website many people commented on other library needs and wants.  Those responses are being compiled and will be shared with the rest of the librarians.  There will be a blog post on the results of the survey in the near future.

Last week 17 wonderful Leos volunteered their time to participate in a card sort study.  “What’s a card sort?,” you ask.   It is a user study that helps us get a better understanding of how users (you!) would categorize and label the information/links on our website.  Each participant was given a deck of 74 cards and ask to sort the cards into categories, and then label each category.  We are only in the beginning of analyzing the data we collected, yet it is fascinating to consider how we each label and categorize information differently.  For more detailed information on the card sort study results, visit the blog in the near future.

As the website redesign project progresses, we’ll keep blogging and letting you know where we are in the process!
