Writing for Your Library Website: Tips for Improving Your Content

Rebecca Blakiston presents online for ALA eLearning.

Individuals visit our library websites for content, so it’s important to ensure our content is clear, concise, and created with our users’ needs in mind. Our content should help users quickly and easily complete tasks and get the answers to their questions on the first try.

You’ll learn how to focus on key messages, use active and authentic voice, remove unnecessary words, write meaningful titles and headings, use parallelism, format text for readability, and more.

This is a third iteration of a workshop originally presented in August 2018 and presented again in March 2019.
