Loras College librarians transformed their library’s website into one that responded to users’ needs while meeting the library's teaching objectives and the College’s branding requirements - all with no budget, limited staff, and very little technical assistance. After learning about how this ACRL College Library Web Site of the Month was created using quick-and-dirty usability testing, open source code, and vendor-provided and home-grown widgets, attendees will have the opportunity to explore free tools discussed in the presentation at hands-on stations, including WireframePro, Jing, and card sorts. Participants will gain a knowledge of free tools that can be applied to their own library’s website.
