Web Page Design - Competency Task 1

Moonee Valley Library - This is a good website; it allows the User to easily navigate through the libraries online resources. They inform you about membership, fines, fees and also about upcoming events and programs that the library has. They also explain why the library is good for children and adolescents, and have two sections specifically for them.

Wyndham Library Services - This library's website has the option to have your say in the library's future.  The site also covers some other websites that branch out from Wyndham City. The site also allows you to search to library's catalogue, login and checkout books. However the website is hard to navigate and it is hard to find the actual website for the library that isn't attached to the council's website.

Hobsons Bay Library - This library's website is great because it is easy to navigate and has no problems (bugs) with it at all, that I have found.They have Youtube videos that instruct the customer how to use their services within the library. Their website also informs the customer of the fees they may have to pay to use thier services, and fees for fines that the customer may get.

Victoria State Library - The Victoria State Library is a good site for information on the library itself and has a "Ask A Librarian" section and though easy to use I felt that there was just too many things on the pages. Things I didn't like about this website is that it feels very cluttered as they try to fill absolutely all of the space on the page, where as some of the more simpler designs felt more affective when it came to figuring out how to use the website.

Monash University Library - Monash's website is easy to use and has information for Students, Teachers, Visitors, Researchers and more.They have the opening hours of all of thier branches, which is good for people who need to know when their local branches would be open.
