201 Moses Hall

Low-cost webpages and ready-to-use interfaces have crowded out choices on
the web. They have also accelerated competition for visitors. What are the
consequences for sites in history and the humanities? How can we avoid
designing a clone or being redundant? Certain starting points are clear:
attention to strategy, innovative design, original content, a
multidisciplinary approach, user-oriented presentation of information. But
how to get there? And what do we need?

This seminar describes the speaker's experience with the conception,
implementation, evaluation, and maintenance of a successful website on the
scientific, technological, and economic history of energy
(http://www.Historia-energia.com/).

Co-sponsored by the Office for History of Science and Technology and the
Portuguese Studies Program.
