Redesigning or editing the content of your library’s web site? Unsure whether to call that particular section “Periodicals” or “Serials” or “Journals” or even something else? Check out Library Terms That Users Understand for a useful collection of data on what words are best understood by library users. Be prepared to spend a bit of time, as most everything is found via dozens of links. The information can save you, and your users, quite a bit of time in the long run!
