Just a reminder that the graphic design concept description and survey will be coming down at close of business on Thursday, January 31, 2008. If you haven't had a chance to look and comment, please do so soon. The URL is http://alamockups.luminanze.com .

We've had about 700 survey completions so far.

As another piece of the ALA website redesign process, UserWorks is going to conduct another survey beginning today. This one is intended to find some consensus on grouping content in broader categories. The intent is to gather input on users' expectations regarding the terminology and placement of the terms in the organization of the site. In some ways it is similar to the card sort exercise done earlier this year, but more focused and seeking broader input.

The survey invitation will go out this afternoon to a random selection of 750 members and 250 non-members from ALA's database. We hope to get 250 people to actually fill out the survey. If we don't have 250 completed surveys by the start of next week, we'll send out another batch of invitations.
