Is your organization involved in a website design or re-design project?
Are you looking for guidance on how your website will work with your
existing database structures?  Do you want to know what steps should be
considered in usability testing?  What are the major elements in planning
a major website design project?

Come to our first program of the Fall!  It's going to be outstanding.

This program will focus on the process, design and implementation of the
new online catalog for NIH's National Institute on Diabetes, Digestive
Diseases, and Kidney & Urologic Diseases (NIDDK) clearinghouses.

More than a case study, this program will run through the pitfalls and
necessary decisions required for a website design/redesign project,
including the following items:

1. Website design elements
2. Architecture of an e-commerce package and the decisions that must be
made
3. Usability testing and how it affected final implementation
4. Integration with existing databases.


The program presented by Dan Unger and Jon Simons of the Web Development
Team at Eagle Design & Management, Inc.

Not only will this be an outstanding program, but this is an opportunity
to renew your ASIST acquaintances and learn more about the fantastic
things the Potomac Valley Chapter members are involved in!

Please join us for this occasion!


LOCATION:  Social and Academic Center at the Foundation for Advanced
