Here are the presentations I gave while at Computers in Libraries (not counting my presentation on 15 Web Design Trends for 2013):
15 Web Design Trends for 2013
Here’s one of my presentations for Computers in Libraries 2013 – great conference! I’m posting this one separately, since there’s some good stuff here. I poked around in Google, and condensed a lot of “web design predictions” posts into this handy list of 15 web design trends for 2013. Which ones are you thinking about?
- Content first
- Design simplicity
- UX Centered Design
- App style interfaces
- Responsive design
- No skeuomorphism
- coding languages (as in HTML/CSS/Javascript)
- Fixed header bars
- Large photo backgrounds
- CSS Transparency
- Social media badges
- Infinite scrolling
- Homepage feature tours
- Sliding panels
- Parallax design
Enjoy! I’ll post links to my other CIL 2013 presentations in another post.
My Computers in Libraries 2012 Presentations
As usual, I had a great time at Computers in Libraries 2012 (#CILDC). I learned some interesting things, and met some really cool people too.
I also gave a few presentations (ok – five presentations). Here are a couple of my slidedecks and some notes people took during the presentations, so you can get a feel for my sessions. Enjoy!
1. Seven Essential Elements to an Awesome Library Website
Nicole Engard took some pretty thorough notes! This slidedeck made the main page of Slideshare, in the Featured and the Top Pro Content sections!).
2. Digital Hangouts: Reaching Outside the Building

This slidedeck also made the main page of Slideshare, in the Top Pro Content section. Sweet!
3. The Next Big Thing – an interactive panel (Jill Hurst-Wahl’s notes).
4. Benchmark Study – Library Spending and Priorities 2012 (another panel – notes from Joanna’s Conference Reports blog).
5. Let’s Make Video! (a preconference workshop with Michael Porter. Notes from the Montana BTOP Technology Training blog).
CILDC: Mobile Apps & Mobile Web Development
Six speakers in 45 minutes! Here are some highlights…
MIT App Inventor and jQuery:
MIT App Inventor – a web-based Android app development tool. Store your code at the site, can test what you’re building by using the site. Has a designer that lets you add components, modules, etc.
Has an AppToMarket that uploads your app to the Android app stores (some registration and a small payment is required for that).
jQuery: mobile framework that’s completely web-based. Basically a cross-browser javascript library that could be pretty handy for web design, including mobile design. Also check jquerymobile.com – a mobile framework. Sweet.
Next up: what’s a mobile framework? Gave an example of mobile design and redesign… they used jquerymobi
CILDC Day One: Mobile and Augmented Reality
So I’m at Computers in Libraries 2012 in Washington DC – always a great conference! Make sure to check out presentations online, and follow the #cildc hashtag on twitter… Here’s a couple of notes from a session … more to come later!
***********
I walked in late to this session, but what I heard was great.
Jeff Wisniewski was talking about mobile stuff, and said this:
mobile first is different than mobile-friendly! Then gave examples of how some people are redesigning websites with tablets and smartphone functionality in mind.
Good stuff…
Next up – Cindy Hart, talking about augmented reality and library resources for enhanced digital storytelling…
they used http://tagwhat.com/ to help them create stories. Looks like a cool tool to check out!
