Libraries as Content Collaborators: The Life of a Production Librarian Eli Neiburger Associate Director for IT and Production Ann Arbor District Library Join Library Journal Mover and Shaker Eli Neiburger, Associate Director of IT & Production at the Ann Arbor District Library, as he expands upon his compelling argument that one way for libraries to remain relevant in this current technological era is to become producers of and/or collaborators on their own content. Eli will talk about AADL's approach to digital projects, and how Production Librarians at AADL work with community partners to bring new content to the web. He'll also cover the infrastructure and skills necessary for libraries to move in this direction, and how to get started without a budget.

Come hear about how we overhauled and re-branded our mobile web site by applying user-centered methods and integrating HTML5 and jQuery Mobile with dynamic data sources. Relying on information gathered through a needs assessment and user testing, our iterative development process not only polished up the site’s existing features, but resulted in some nifty new services – like geolocation for our multiple library locations across campus. Upon launching the new site, we assessed the impact of the changes through a comparison of usage statistics and by soliciting user feedback. We’ll conclude with a discussion of the factors (local, technical, and otherwise) that influenced our decision making during and after the redesign.
