To follow up with my previous post, here is my list of beautifully designed academic library websites, for your design inspiration:

• Yale University Library - just lovely.
• University of California at Berkeley Library - although it does seem rather scrunched up towards the top, it's a very clean design.
• University of Virginia Library - which is nice until you scroll below the fold - it gets all wonky at the bottom of the page (and it's not a FF vs. IE thing either, I checked...)
• Ohio University Libraries - I particularly like the way their color-coded "tabs" look

Yesterday, I read on Ubiquitous Librarian, that the Clemson Library website rates the highest for user satisfaction. I took a look at their website, and in terms of design it's only rather meh, which got me thinking: can you have a really well-designed library website which is both beautiful and functional?
