Very good lecture.

ABOUT THE LECTURE:
The http://www.loc.gov Web site represents The Library of Congress to the world. But is it doing so effectively? Can users really find the information they need from the site? And can they use that information? And how do we balance users' needs with those of the Library of Congress?
The emerging fields of information architecture and usability can help provide answers to these questions. The Library of Congress is pleased to invite two of the best-regarded speakers from these fields, usability guru Steve Krug and information architecture expert Lou Rosenfeld, to perform a live review of loc.gov. Steve and Lou will suggest practical techniques for
the site's evaluation and redesign, lead an interactive discussion on how the usability and information architecture of loc.gov could ultimately be improved, and answer audience questions about these new fields.
Lou and Steve's perspectives are well regarded, and their books--Steve's "Don't Make Me Think!" and Lou's "Information Architecture for the World Wide Web"--are considered Web design classics. Please join us as they turn their attention to loc.gov.
