Comments: Large graphic introduces you to
Web site, but it is not an image map, which is
confusing. You scroll down past the graphic to a
series of pulldown menus for different information.
Very nice page, but I disliked the scrolling and
pulldown menus.

Comments: Great image map on opening. There
are many links to information below image map, but
they're in very small type and all have different
color links. Great content!

Comments: The library page is consistent
with the rest of the school Web site. There are
links to online subscription resources and a
teacher made site with links to curriculum related
items. The link does not match the original page.
Very nice graphics, simple and easy to look
at.

Comments: No links to home page or online
resource page. I found them by removing part of the
URL. There is also no title to the page and the
library name is in very small text under the
graphic. The color is nice and the graphic is nice,
but the navigation and organization flaws were
major.

Comments: Very organized and easy to use.
The navigation was very good. The Web site is a
strange purple color, but it matched with the
sunset graphic they use consistently throughout the
AZLA Web site. Some of the graphics were extra
large and would have looked better if they were
smaller.
