WHERE BUSINESS MEETS FASHION I Like Your Style(sheet): Enterprise Customization at a Fashion Library

Before Enterprise … Link labeled LIMCat accessible from a link on the college website Opened in a new window
3
Before Enterprise … Library occupied a small section of the College website Restricted to a 3 column format and style rules Could not add additional pages

Moving off the College website More page space Ability to edit and publish our own content immediately No formatting and style restrictions

Why Enterprise? Catalog and website on one platform Training classes and consultation included in install Facets Fuzzy logic Customizing the page with colors Scroll of book covers Searchable site content

January 2013 – May 2013 MAJOR catalog clean up Decided searchable locations & items Filled out install questionnaire Found matching HTML colors Prepped content and photos Confirmed technical specs Mapped out site design (paper prototype) Coordinated install dates 3 training classes

June 2013 – August 2013 3 consultation calls Attended a Usability Testing class Built “Rooms” Usability testing Isolated areas to tweak Last consultation call was scheduled late and allowed us to beta test Packed last call with customizations Launched & demoed Enterprise at annual Faculty & Staff Convocation
