  1. ILLiad Webpages and Web 2.0:The Present and the Future Presented by T. Jacob Weiner Interlibrary Loan Borrowing Supervisor George Mason University

  2. The Evolution of the Web • Web 1.0 – Static webpages that require links to go to new webpages for more information. • Web 2.0 – Clean and clear webpages that can use programming like Flash to present information all on the same page. • Web 3.0 – Social media and content creation. • Different people use these terms to mean different things, but this is the most clear delineation.

  3. The Stock ILLiad Webpages • The Stock ILLiad Webpages are designed from a Web 1.0 standpoint. • All content must be reached through links to other webpages. • This requires going back and forth through browser navigation or more links. • Important content can easily be “lost” or unintentionally hidden from users.

  4. A look at VGM’s ILLiad • Web 1.0 Design – Links go to different pages, no dynamic content. • Cluttered design, complicated navigation, too much library jargon.

  5. A Renewal on VGM’s ILLiad • A GMU Patron has to click through three pages to make a renewal request for their item. This is the stock configuration for ILLiad.

  6. Web 2.0 ILLiad: Salisbury Univ. • The Salisbury University ILLiad page is clean, and only has the information a patron needs.

  7. Salisbury University Requests • Requests are made on the same page as every other function in ILLiad and the request form opens dynamically.

  8. Salisbury University Renewals • Renewals, like Requests, open on the same page dynamically and only require one click by the patron.

  9. Web 2.0 ILLiad: BYU • The Brigham Young University page has a different design but, like SU, only has the information the patron needs. Additionally, all of the patron’s requests are presented on the first page.

  10. Brigham Young U. Requests • Patrons can make requests from the front page and the request form opens dynamically.

  11. Brigham Young U. Renewals • Even more convenient than the SU ILLiad page, patrons can make a renewal from the front page of the BYU ILLiad page.

  12. The benefits of updating your ILLiad pages with Web 2.0. • Patrons are increasingly used to dynamic content. Clicking through multiple pages can cause confusion and deter patrons from using ILLiad resources. • Content can be reduced to just what the patron needs. Patrons will tend to ignore instructions when there is too much for them to quickly consume. • Dynamic webpages can provide information immediately, and patrons can quickly learn how to use ILLiad in the future.
