Web Guidelines: MIT Libraries
Principles of our Web Site
- Less is more
- Use the templates.
- Follow style guidelines.
- Link to, rather than recreate.
- Share ideas for new designs across libraries (via the User Interface Group).
Why?
- frees staff to work on new creative web projects
- information can be updated in one place (instead of several places)
- consistency makes it easier for our users to navigate the site
