A Reimagined Archive for ARL

As an organization devoted to the creation, spread and protection of knowledge, the Association of Research Libraries is always looking for ways to improve access to and engagement with its own high-value content. ARL's commitment to elevating its user experience is exemplified through content that is thoughtfully structured around its membersโ€™ needs.ย  Of particular note are features like:

  • A simplified navigation system that helps users find answers fast
  • A new, visual system to enable quick content scanning
  • Drop-down menus help that support more targeted scrolling.
  • Homepage sections to help guide new visitors and members
  • Promotional banners to entice new members

Weโ€™re especially impressed by how ARL has combined imagination and good design to merge new content with archives dating back to the 1940s! This undertaking improves access to vital content, ensuring that future generations can locate and benefit from their wealth of knowledge and research.
