Widgets, tools, and doodads for Library Webmasters

This program featured Darlene Fichter from the University of Saskatchewan and Frank Cervone, recently of Northwestern University although now the new director of the new library school at Chicago State University (!!).  A very quick rundown of a scad of tools useful for web development, web browsing.  Too many to list here, but a few of the more interesting ones:
  • Feng Gui - automated eye tracking software for websites (tries to pretend to be a user to figure out how your site is seen)
  • Vischeck - displays your website and images as they would appear to the color-blind
  • Polldaddy - Easy implementation of website polls.
