Re: Library Website Awards...?

This is so 1990's.  I thought we were beyond this type of
thing.  What
is needed is for people to look at the Best Practices
sections of
various library wikis and in places like WebJunction for
design,
functionality, and content suggestions.

So, does the "Best" WEB site look pretty or can it
be just hum drum and
help 
you find your target much quicker.  Sort sounds like, what
was it?
Better 
Flavor : Less Filling debate or something like that

I agree that looking at Best Practices is important, but
sometimes it is just as important to see real life examples
of how these Best Practices are being implemented and how
they work.  Theory is not always enough, and some people
learn better by seeing and doing than just reading about.

Just wondering ... the Web Development section of
WebJunction looks stale, in terms of the dates of postings
(2006 being most recent). I am looking in the wrong place,
or is my observation correct.

http://www.webjunction.org/do/Navigation?category=517 

If you want a "best practices" approach, maybe it
would be timely for someone to reply with a URL for  best
practices web sites.  Thanks.
