Academic Library Website Benchmarks, 2015 Edition

The 116-page study presents data from 50 colleges and universities about their academic library development and management policies. The study helps its readers answer questions such as: What percentage of academic libraries recently undertook, or plan in the near future, a major website redesign? What are the goals of the website redesigns? How is the academic library website staffed? What is the role of the central college IT department? How have website usability studies been conducted and by whom? Have outside consultants played a role? How many libraries have ancillary sites or presences on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and other cyber sites? How many libraries have committees to oversee their websites? What do librarians consider the best single products and ideas that have helped their websites over the past few years?
