later, a patron will take a turn that deviates from what a system expects. When this happens, the system might show a patron a dead-end, something like: ‘0 results found’. A good UX though, will recognize the dead-end and present the patron with options to carry on their search. The search upgrade was built with this goal in mind: help patrons seamlessly course correct past disruptive dead-ends.</p> <p>Many patrons have likely experienced a case where they’ve typed in a specific search term and been shown the dreaded, “0 results found” message. If the system doesn’t provide any next steps to the patron, like a “did you mean […]?” link, then this is a dead-end. When patrons are shown dead-ends, they have the full burden of figuring out what went wrong with their search and what to do next. Is the item the patron is searching for not in the system? Is the wrong search type selected (e.g. are they searching in titles rather than authors)? Is there a typo in their search query? Predicting a patron’s intent and how they veered off course can be challenging, as each case may require a different solution. In order to develop solutions that are grounded in user feedback, it’s important to talk with patrons</p> <p>In the case of Open Library, <a href="https://blog.openlibrary.org/2024/06/16/listening-to-learners-and-educators/">interviewing learners and educators</a> revealed many patrons were unaware that the platform has search inside capabilities. </p> <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> <p>“Several interviewees were unaware of Open Library’s [<strong>existing</strong>] full-text search, read aloud, or note-taking capabilities, yet expressed interest in these features.”</p> <cite>https://blog.openlibrary.org/2024/06/16/listening-to-learners-and-educators/</cite></blockquote> <p>Several patrons were also unaware that there’s a way to switch search modes from the default “All” to e.g. “Authors” or “Subjects”. Furthermore, several patrons expected the search box to be type-agnostic.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized is-style-default"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2395" width="266" height="48" srcset="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM.png 770w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM-300x54.png 300w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM-500x90.png 500w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM-768x138.png 768w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.01.03-AM-624x112.png 624w" sizes="(max-width: 266px) 100vw, 266px" /></figure> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="500" height="27" src="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM-500x27.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2397" srcset="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM-500x27.png 500w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM-300x16.png 300w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM-768x42.png 768w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM-624x34.png 624w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.03.07-AM.png 1176w" sizes="(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px" /></figure> <p>From our conversations with patrons and reviewing analytics, we learned many dead-end searches were the result of patrons trying to type <strong>search inside</strong> queries into the default search, which primarily considers titles and authors. What does this experience look like for a patron? An Open Library patron might type into the default <strong>book</strong> search box, a book <strong>quote</strong> such as: “<a href="https://openlibrary.org/search?q=All+grown-ups+were+once+children...+but+only+a+few+of+them+remember+it&mode=ebooks&has_fulltext=true">All grown-ups were once children… but only a few of them remember it</a>“. Unbeknownst to them, the system only searches for matching book titles and authors and, as it finds no matches, the patron’s search returns an anticlimactic ‘No results found’ message. In red. A dead-end.</p> <p>As a Comparative Literature major who spent a disproportionate amount of time of my undergrad flipping through book pages while muttering, “<em>where oh where did I read that quote?”,</em> I know I would’ve certainly benefitted from the Search Inside feature, had I known it existed. With a little brainstorming, we knew the default search experience could be improved to show more relevant results for dead-end queries. The idea that emerged is: display Search Inside results as a “did you mean?” type suggestion when a search returns 0 matches. This approach would help reduce dead-ends and increase discoverability of the Search Inside feature. Thus the “Search Inside Suggestion Card” was born.</p> <p>The design process started out as a series of Figma drawings:</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="573" height="264" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfNAcKqKCJVBL12BQe3zqYGOvF8_T9RUe8iY52OUw_6dn5Za641ZWfttaAEb3BvVc8tihEOZHWR4BRKDg4Hmv9Iotn2Y32zRvMmyxGuZnSzJqCrvnJFdf48aP_OqfFHPLufLbvrFARL1Pd-WJ4JIykubxY5?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw"></p> <p>Discussions with the design team helped narrow in on a prototype that would provide the patron with enough links and information to send them on their way to the Search Inside results page, a book page or the text reader itself, with occurrences of the user’s search highlighted. At the same time, the card had to be compact and easy to digest at a glance, so design efforts were made to make the quote stand out first and foremost.</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="539" height="305" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeYwhxzLcLL96CKW600OceS0RBCgUJDl2HCo8sIouHb1kZQn5hvoiVRe3D-c3Fn9mem9Hk-sDeXrcBVoly66pi2E5THrWn8ccME6MQE0m4OerTMsioK-4oYiCAUDLDedx4IYNo0JPtuZVipsHS01mLk5vlW?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw"></p> <p>After several revisions, the prototype evolved into this design:</p> <p><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="624" height="379" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcsQ4UEGQEteEvoiX2RWO1wrtcFCRjEgYWNWyFbs7riZlmZZQux8IB39RY648TGD_bevuR0tcUcokHvVw3Nwgfn5Y3SBejIT3cgd_FTxw7RJn2s_tr8g-6xJWimHgHdPOcM0fHdmf3INdjueM3Bj_MuV_ZB?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw"></p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Early Results</h2> <p>The Search Inside Suggestion card went live on August 21st and thanks to link tracks that I rigged up to all the clickable elements of the card, we were able to observe its effectiveness. Some findings:<img decoding="async" loading="lazy" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdt-x20ccBzTonye35938abLZKZmlxypw0T3B15kGPAhjqlByJS_OLIAEoDjcOTKXlpo-qIXYrnFEbnshQr2DZn_YIQfrrTh0VIK4iYQSuIX49bKrWOj6POGtxVcHL4y6bsRCP_8d51FNi1SQbjSZ5ReH9O?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw" width="624" height="316"></p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdLydDmOzBDZrFe5LS11O_9wMQjxVh1WGiqJYLIh8Dx2D9Ck3OeTfJs9f91WISJy6JfTc_-CDklDtBAcBnyvyhGFTn5zYfffAaMhQziXTEV2ki8IPl-RywFf-PjIjY5Y-mT-Id0V7jbFV6HtkDWUv34GAw?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw" alt="" /></figure> <ul> <li>In the first day, 2k people landed on the Search Inside Suggestion card when previously they would have seen nothing.

My goal for the redesign was to make the card more compact and match its styling as closely as possible to the Search Inside Suggestion card to create a consistent UI.</p> <p><strong>Before:</strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeY0OETfUvqOAq0isWqXoi8rxDVhXCwUTdeg1j5JkBLeLqHqNZ4N4f2611cPv3ydD9WxO563XyVAmEsflryV3Py6sgsmNlvfRq08COHRUnV-TafLZMljAgsBg91X5CsB767RlIeaK9BXgs2ce278ivId1U?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw" alt="" /></figure> <p><strong>After:</strong></p> <figure class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcEOeZYTKY3oEZDIMAEXNuARFLyG_qg2Xfer0adneR5wZK74hbzTGyMIQSBqPO9klY0hbMd2HylpqNC3So7l6MvZ4TR--3XCaj4UZVLuEQF94LfLRZW7qZnAYm5qPcQSvRevb6xEvthrdzE9Npsp9K24NdZ?key=vNOEFU5NAACDKb_eoV5Sgw" alt="" /></figure> <p>The next step for the Search Inside Suggestion card is to explore weaving it into the search results, regardless of result count. The card will offer an alternate search path in a list of potentially repetitive results. Say you searched ‘to be or not to be’ and there happens to be several books with a matching title. Rather than scrolling through these potentially irrelevant results, the search result card can intervene to anticipate that perhaps it’s a quote <em>inside</em> a text that you’re searching for. With the Search Inside Suggestion card taking the place of a dead-end, I’m proud to report that a search for “All grown-ups were once children…” will now lead Open Library patron’s to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s <em>The Little Prince</em>, page 174!</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Technical Implementation</h2> <p>For the software engineers in the room who want a peek behind the curtain, working on the “Search Inside Suggestion Card” project was a great opportunity to learn how to asynchronously, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_loading">lazy load</a> “parts” of webpages, using an approach called partials. Because Search Inside results can take a while to generate, we decided to lazy load the Search Inside Suggestion Card, only after the regular search had completed.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-style-default"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" width="2202" height="476" src="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM.png" alt="" class="wp-image-2398" srcset="https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM.png 2202w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-300x65.png 300w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-500x108.png 500w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-768x166.png 768w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-1536x332.png 1536w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-2048x443.png 2048w, https://blog.openlibrary.org/files/2024/10/Screenshot-2024-10-02-at-7.33.52-AM-624x135.png 624w" sizes="(max-width: 2202px) 100vw, 2202px" /></figure> <p>If you’ve never heard of a partial, well I hadn’t either. Rather than waiting to fetch all the Search Inside matches to the user’s search before the user sees <em>anything</em>, a ‘No books directly matched your search’ message and a loading bar appear immediately. The loading bar indicates that Search Inside results are being checked, which is UX speak for <em>this partial html template chunk is loading.</em></p> <p>So how does a partial load? There’s a few key players:</p> <ol> <li><strong>The template</strong> (html file) – this is the page that initially renders with the ‘No books directly matched your search’ message. It has a placeholder div for where the partial will be inserted.</li> <li><strong>The partial</strong> (html file) – this is the Search Inside Suggestion Card</li> <li><strong>The Javascript logic</strong> – this is the logic that says, “get that placeholder div from the template and attach it to an initialization function and call that function”</li> <li><strong>More Javascript logic</strong> – this logic says, “ok, show that loading indicator while I make a call to the partials endpoint”</li> <li><strong>A Python class</strong> – this is where the partials endpoint lives. When it’s called, it calls a model to send a fulltext search query to the database. This is where the user’s wrong turn is at last “corrected”. Their initial search in the Books tab that found no matching titles is now redirected to perform a Search Inside tab search to find matching quotes.</li> <li><strong>The data</strong> returned from the Python class is sent back up the line and the data-infused partial is inserted in the template from step 1. Ta-da!</li> </ol> <h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="about-the-open-library-fellowship-program">About the Open Library Fellowship Program</h3> <p>The Internet Archive’s Open Library Fellowship is a flexible, self-designed independent study which pairs volunteers with mentors to lead development of a high impact feature for OpenLibrary.org. Most fellowship programs last one to two months and are flexible, according to the preferences of contributors and availability of mentors. We typically choose fellows based on their exemplary and active participation, conduct, and performance within the Open Library community. The Open Library staff typically only accepts 1 or 2 fellows at a time to ensure participants receive plenty of support and mentor time. Occasionally, funding for fellowships is made possible through Google Summer of Code or Internet Archive Summer of Code & Design.

Participants of the study included a mix of students, teachers, and researchers from around the globe, spanning a variety of disciplines.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About the Participants</h2> <p>At the earliest stages of this research, a screener survey involving 466 participants helped us understand the wide range of patrons who use the Open Library. Excluding 141 responses that didn’t match the criteria of this research, the remaining 325 respondents identified as:</p> <ul> <li>126 high school, university, or graduate students</li> <li>64 self learners</li> <li>44 researchers</li> <li>41 K-12 teachers</li> <li>29 professors</li> <li>12 parents of K-12 students</li> <li>9 librarians</li> </ul> <p>Participants reported affiliations with institutions spanning a diverse variety of geographies, including: Colombia, Romania, France, Uganda, Indonesia, China, India, Botswana, Nigeria, and Ireland.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Findings</h2> <figure class="wp-block-image is-style-default"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfbXBVZZEOo8BoYQ_9E_4AvvZDkFa36CN-QlzZpgHitDPYymofJ1vEFREZhj5ne0n35aycNZ-SpB89AxCp9U4qb39z0ZsUe68yKIwSEz1kn7pz5uwZU6S9IoyDsDm3NV3EZA_NQ9c0DbNaES_GBM-3_BVfY?key=TzrR-z9FrvGgZcD2E-Kpsw" alt="" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">A screenshot of the Findings section of the collaborative Mural canvas, filled with digital sticky notes </figcaption></figure> <p>Here are the top 7 learnings we discovered from this research:</p> <ol> <li><strong>The fact that the Open Library is free and accessible online is paramount to patrons’ success. </strong>During interviews, several participants told us that the Open Library helps them <strong>locate hard to find books</strong> they have difficulty finding elsewhere. At least two participants didn’t have access to a nearby library or a book vendor that could provide the book they needed. In a recent <a href="https://blog.archive.org/2024/06/14/patrons-speak-out-the-impact-of-losing-access-to-more-than-500000-books/">Internet Archive blog post</a>, several patrons corroborated these challenges. In addition to finding materials, one or more of our participants are affected by disabilities or have worked with such persons who have <strong>limited mobility</strong>, difficulty commuting, and benefit from online access. Research use cases also drove the necessity for online access: At least two interviewed participants used texts primarily as references to cite or verify certain passages. The ability to quickly search for and <strong>access specific, relevant passages</strong> online was essential to helping them to succeed at their research objective, which may have otherwise been prohibitively expensive or technologically intractable. </li> <li><strong>Participants voiced the importance of internationalization and having books in multiple languages. </strong>Nearly every participant we interviewed advocated for the website and books to be made available in more languages. One participant had to manually translate sections of English books into Arabic for their students. Another participant who studied classic literature manually translated editions so they could be compared. A teach who we interviewed relayed to us that it was common for their ESL (English as a Second Language) students to ask for help translating books from English into their primary language.</li> <li><strong>The interests of learners and educators who use the Open Library vary greatly. </strong>We expected to find themes in the types of books learners and educators are searching for. However, the foci of participants we interviewed spanned a variety of topics, from Buddhism, to roller coaster history, therapy, technical books, language learning materials, and classic literature. Nearly none of our candidates were looking for the same thing and most had different goals and learning objectives. One need they all have in common is <strong>searching for books</strong>.</li> <li><strong>The Open Library has many educational applications we hadn’t intended. </strong>One or more participant reported they had used the read aloud feature in their classroom to help students with phonics and language learning. While useful, participants also suggested the feature sometimes glitches and robotic sounding voices are a turnoff. We also learned several educators and researchers link to Open Library when creating course syllabi for their students.</li> <li><strong>Many of Open Library subject and collection pages weren’t sufficient for one or more of our learners and educators use cases. </strong>At least two interviewees ended up compiling their own collections using their own personal web pages and linking back to the Open Library. One participant tried to use Open Library to search for K-12, age-appropriate books pertaining to the “<a href="https://openlibrary.org/subjects/constitution_day_(u.s.)">US Constitution Day</a>” and was grateful for but underwhelmed by the results.</li> <li><strong>The Open Library service & its features are difficult to discover</strong>. <ul> <li>Several interviewees were unaware of Open Library’s full-text search, read aloud, or note-taking capabilities, yet expressed interest in these features.</li> <li>Many respondents of the screener survey believed their affiliated institutions were unaware of the Open Library platform.</li> </ul> </li> <li><strong>Open Library’s community is generous, active, and eager to participate in research</strong> to help us improve. Overall, 450+ individuals from 100+ institutions participated in this process. Previously, more than 2k individuals helped us learn <a href="https://blog.openlibrary.org/2023/09/14/how-do-patrons-prefer-to-read/">how our patrons prefer to read</a> and more than <a href="https://blog.openlibrary.org/2022/09/29/a-summer-of-design/">750 participants helped us redesign our book pages</a>.</li> </ol> <p>Some of our learnings we had already predicted and seeing these predictions confirmed by data has also given us conviction in pursuing next steps. Some learnings were genuinely surprising to us, such as many teachers preferring the online web-based book reader because it doesn’t require them to install any extra software on school computers.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Proposals</h2> <p>After reviewing this list of findings and challenges, we’ve identified 10 areas where the Open Library may be improved for learners and educators around the globe:</p> <ol> <li><strong>Continuing to make more books available online </strong>by expanding our <a href="https://openlibrary.org/trusted-book-providers"><strong>Trusted Book Providers</strong></a> program and adding <a href="https://guide.pressbooks.com/chapter/what-is-a-webbook/#:~:text=By%20comparison%2C%20a%20webbook%20stays,traditional%20formats%20can't%20do.">Web Books</a> to the catalog.</li> <li><strong>Participating in outreach to promote platform discovery & adoption.</strong> Connect with institutions and educators to surface opportunities for partnership, integration, and to establish clear patterns for using Open Library within learning environments.</li> <li><strong>Adding onboarding flow after registration to promote feature discovery</strong>. Conduct followup surveys to learn more about patrons, their challenges, and their needs. Add an onboarding experience which helps newly registered patrons become familiar with new services.</li> <li><strong>Making books available in more languages</strong> by prototyping the capability to translate currently open pages within bookreader to any language, on-the-fly.</li> <li><strong>Creating better subject and collection page experiences</strong> by<strong> </strong>giving librarians tools to create custom collection pages and tag and organize books in bulk.</li> <li><strong>Improving Read Aloud</strong> by using AI to generate more natural/human voices, make the feature more discoverable in the bookreader interface, and fix read aloud navigation so it works more predictably.</li> <li><strong>Allowing educators to easily convert their syllabi to lists on Open Library </strong>using a Bulk Search & List creator feature.</li> <li><strong>Moving to a smarter, simpler omni-search experience </strong>that doesn’t require patrons to switch modes in order to get the search results they want.</li> <li><strong>Importing missing metadata and improving incomplete records</strong> by giving more librarians better tools for adding importers and identifying records with missing fields.</li> <li><strong>Improving the performance and speed of the service</strong> so it works better for more patrons in more areas.</li> </ol> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">About the Process</h2> <p>The Open Library team was fortunate to benefit from the guidance and leadership of Abbey Ripstra, a Human-Centered Design Researcher who formerly led Design Research efforts at the Wikimedia organization.

Some contributors swim by to nibble on a specific issue or check out our weekly community calls. Other contributors plant roots and collaborate with staff, as appointed Fellows, to make progress on involved projects that may entail weeks or months of thoughtful preparation. A select few contributors become intimately familiar with our systems, choose to mentor others in the community, and volunteer to manage and lead specific, discrete parts of the project, like our design system, our javascript practices, or internationalization. </p> <p>In the past, the website had a <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200729205101/https://openlibrary.org/about/people">stale list of contributors</a> and we didn’t have an established framework for spotlighting the generous humans behind Open Library and keeping this list up to date. With the skillful touch of fellows from our design team—Debbie San, Jaye Lasseigne—and mentorship from Scott Barnes on staff, we now have a beautiful, filterable, and maintainable way of showcasing the achievements of Open Library’s diverse community of contributors: <a href="https://openlibrary.org/about/team">https://openlibrary.org/about/team</a></p> <p>We had an opportunity to interview Debbie San, who is responsible for the new Team Page design, to learn more about the design process for this project, and Jaye Lasseigne, who led the new page’s implementation.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">An Interview with the Designer & Developer</h2> <p><strong>Speaking with Debbie about the Team Page’s Design Process:</strong></p> <p><strong>Q.) What led to the decision to create a new team page? </strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Debbie’s Insight: </strong>I have always believed that it is crucial to recognize individuals for their work. Open Library has many unique and talented individuals, volunteers and staff alike. Our team page is an opportunity to recognize them.</p> <p><strong>Q.) What was the inspiration behind the team page design?</strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Debbie’s Response: </strong>There were many different websites used as inspirations. We looked at team pages from universities, smaller and bigger projects, and anything else that could help the vision of redesigning our team page.</p> <p><strong>Q.) How do you incorporate collective input and diverse perspectives into the design process?</strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Debbie’s Advice:</strong> Design is a creative process, but it doesn’t mean it’s a solo process. I believe in the power of collective input and collaboration. Even when I wasn’t 100% sold on the feedback, I valued the diverse perspectives that shaped our collective vision. In the realm of design, embracing a variety of viewpoints is important when it comes to refining and enhancing the end result.</p> <p><strong>Q.) How do you approach the iterative process in design, particularly when creating different mock-ups?</strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Debbie’s Thoughts: </strong>Even though the implementation may seem simple, challenges may appear, and it is up to everyone, designers and developers alike, to dialogue, to grow together and to find the best solutions. </p> <p>I am super thankful to have worked with Jaye and Scott here and how hard they worked to bring this design to life. Now we have a team page that celebrates all staff and contributors who empower Open Library.</p> <p><strong>Speaking with Jaye about the Team Page’s Technical Implementation:</strong></p> <p><strong>Q.) Can you share some insights into how your team worked together to bring this page to life? </strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Jaye’s Thoughts: </strong>Debbie and I worked really well together! I got Debbie’s Figma designs and immediately started working to put it in code. I also received help from Scott Barnes and Mek (Program Lead) to hook up my CSS file, and Jim Champ showed me how to hook up a Javascript file. I remember checking in with Debbie a few times to get feedback on how the design looked on the browser.</p> <p><strong>Q.) Can you elaborate on challenges you encountered and how you overcame them during the coding process?</strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Jaye’s Response:</strong> Most of my personal challenges came from my limited knowledge of the codebase and where files were located. To help me understand the codebase, I watched some of the videos in the ‘Getting Started’ guide on the Open Library GitHub.</p> <p>After that, I found I still had questions so I reached out to Mek for help on the CSS. He was able to show me where the CSS files are located, and from there, I was able to figure out how to hook my CSS up to my HTML page. When I got to the Javascript portion, I reached out to Jim Champ who explained the flow of the Javascript files and where everything needed to go for it to work.</p> <p><strong>Q.) What advice would you give to other organizations who are looking to create a team page?</strong></p> <p><strong>A.) Jaye’s Advice: </strong>“Do lots of research on other team pages you may find online. Find examples you like – you don’t need to reinvent the wheel.”</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Just in Time for Growth</h2> <p>Debbie and Jaye’s hard work comes at an important time, given the recent growth of Open Library’s community of contributors.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-style-default"><img decoding="async" src="https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/E8f447Tg8qerWkNw2cSZroeLEYultpEKLkFtJjLZKUOFyBfNs_6bL1H3ewaXRn2p2LI9qGR8-qiZHHchdsurDVP4r-kjGsWBPHsomGpay11TVaAIRiRW3EGZi1SMoL2D5m8DrLt0SneY2cDYG5ovlZU" alt="A Snapshot of Open Library contributors representing 15+ Nations" /></figure> <p>In 2023, the Open Library project registered interest from 443 volunteer applicants, while cultivating a community of over 1,000 members on Slack. The project also benefited from 2,500 survey respondents, 20+ active developers, and 5 fellows across our 4 programs: Design, Communications, Engineering, and Librarianship. We celebrated the achievements of our community members during our <a href="https://archive.org/embed/openlibrary-tour-2020/openlibrary-community-celebration-2023.mp4"><strong>2023 Open Library Community Celebration</strong></a>.</p> <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Join In or Follow Along</h2> <p>Whether you’re a patron, a community contributor, or someone discovering Open Library for the first time, we invite you to explore our new <a href="https://openlibrary.org/about/team"><strong>Team Page</strong></a> to meet some of the people who power Open Library.  Or, you can follow us on <a href="https://twitter.com/openlibrary"><strong>Twitter</strong></a> for our latest updates.
