Wellness Websites: Before and After

Abstract

This study considers FSU College of Medicine’s two wellness websites, one created and maintained by the Maguire Medical Library, and the other created and maintained by the Office of Student Counseling Services. The two websites have evolved separately and are somewhat complementary, but an analysis of each site identifies the most accessible points for library and other resources, and assures a well-defined user experience for both websites. The medical library’s systems librarian, who has a professional graduate certificate in web design and manages the medical library website, conducts the analysis with one of the College’s assistant professors, a counseling psychologist who provides student services on a daily basis. After the analysis, they determine and make appropriate changes to the websites based on their respective expertise in knowledge management and counseling content.
