This article describes the techniques that the team used to organize and design the new Web site. By adopting a guided approach to the Internet, they were able to streamline their Web links and better serve the Library's patrons. The article concludes that by identifying popular topics and by placing the Web site's original content on topic-driven pages, customers are saved a lot of time and frustration by providing a lot of good information in one place.
