Responsive Web Design for Libraries: A LITA Guide

by American Library Association

Tablets, desktops, smartphones, laptops, we live in a world of screens, all of different sizes. Library websites need to work on all of them, but maintaining separate sites or content management systems is resource intensive and still unlikely to address all the variations. Experienced responsive web developer Reidsma, named "a web librarian to watch" by ACRL's TechConnect blog, shares proven methods for delivering the same content to all users using HTML and CSS. His practical guidance will enable web developers to save valuable time and resources by working with a library's existing design to add responsive web design features. With both clarity and thoroughness, and firmly addressing the expectations of library website users, this book This guide shows how, through responsive web design, libraries can build one site for all devices―now and in the future―with just HTML and CSS.

A bit dated (that can't be helped) but still a useful book. Step-by-step guides with coding examples on how to create a RWS from scratch or make an existing website an RWS. Quite useful & I can't wait to build my own from scratch !!
