While I have been formally introduced to the readership of Open Shelf since I began my stint as Deputy Editor, I recently realized I have yet to properly introduce myself (Hello, how are you?) and put a face and personality to the name you see in email responses from the Open Shelf email address.
A little redesign
We’ve been doing a little redesign on Open Shelf … leveraging the strengths of the publication with what we know are best practices for website design and web publishing. We did a “soft launch” last month, preparation for this official “grand opening.”
I go into our “process” in more detail on this podcast and thank our editorial team (Fiona Inglis, Nikolina Likarevic, and Ryan Tucci) along with OLA staff (Annesha Hutchison, Robert Nishimura and Kenrick Oliver) for bringing their creativity and technical expertise to this project.
“A good user/reader experience” has been our guiding principle and we look forward to your feedback.
