Hear tips and techniques from a number of different organizations: Snell shows how Bootstrap and Foundation, two CSS frameworks, can quickly aid in the development of responsive library websites and catalogs. Bullian and Ellison describe the challenges and considerations that factored into the decision-making and design processes for a website redesign including the flexibility and unique features of the LibGuides platform to serve a five-campus library system. The Isovera team discusses how Drupal embraces diverse data back ends and flexible front ends; focuses on the semantic; empowers librarians to represent, alter, and display their collections; and turns their sites into a RESTful API with minimal effort.
