ALA is in the process of redesigning ala.org and would like your input on some of the rough preliminary screens that we are referring to as wireframes. If you had the opportunity to view the wireframes during Annual Conference in Washington, we would especially like your input, as we have made several changes to them based on feedback we received during the conference.
+
 
+
While viewing and evaluating the wireframes, please keep the following in mind:
+
<br><br>
+
1. The wireframes you will see are rough early sketches that do not represent the visual design of the site, just an idea of the basic layout.
+
<br><br>
+
2. The wireframes provide only limited functionality. Links that are active are indicated by an underline & bright blue color. Things that may someday be links but are not active in this demo are underlined but are "grayed out."
+
<br><br>
+
3. The wireframes contain very little actual content at this point. Many areas of the site simply provide placeholding text to indicate where content would be. <br><br>

Purpose

The usability assessment of the ALA website that we undertook this fall [2006] has been completed and is available as a PDF document. At this point, we want to build on the results of this report to develop a vision and an outline of a plan for moving forward on important changes to the website.

To that end, a planning retreat was held in Chicago on Monday, December 18, 2006. The basic purposes of the retreat were to answer the question, "What would we do if we were starting with a clean slate?" and to develop a vision statement and an outline of a plan for the ideal website to serve our diverse needs. Retreat participants will consist of members and staff, many of whom also participated in stakeholder interviews. In addition, we will also have some "fresh eyes" among the participants.

While we know we will not be able to implement all the recommendations from the group immediately, we do plan on moving forward with as many

Please note that the focus group reports (the first two documents in the above list) are not "rough drafts" in the sense of being preliminary versions that will be updated later. They are informal documents that are not in UserWorks' delivery schedule and that we provided to give ALA a preview of the findings before the formal report was ready. The findings that these reports describe are being incorporated into the User and Task Analysis Report, which will be delivered by December 13.  -E. Buie, UserWorks
