The Hawaii State Library System has once again been nationally
recognized as a winner in the Communicator Award of Distinction in
Government Website category. This marks the third award received in
honor of the site since its release in October 2016.
“With entries received from across the U.S. and around the
world, the Communicator Awards is among the largest and most
competitive awards program honoring creative excellence,” said
Hawaii State Librarian Stacey Aldrich. “We are honored to receive
this award. I would like to applaud our web design team from the
Hawaii Information Consortium, LLC, and our staff for their efforts
and dedication to producing outstanding content and providing our
users with a best in class design.”
The award-winning redesign of the library site has delivered a
new standard for library sites nationwide. Through collaborative
user-centered design workshops with library staff, design
strategies that would appeal to fiercely loyal library users and
new users alike were uncovered. The team used patrons’ personal
stories about how the library has impacted their lives to surface
and promote the library’s diverse services such as passports,
talking books for the visually impaired, quilt patterns, free
databases, free online classes, eBooks, thousands of events, and
more. The site was also re-organized to reflect how patrons ask
questions, making it easier for users to search and find the items
they need. Existing social media imagery was also integrated into
the new visual design demonstrating that the library is safe,
friendly, community-driven, and a fun place.
The Hawaii State Public Library System website was created in
partnership with Hawaii Information Consortium, LLC, the official
Internet portal manager of eHawaii.gov.
