The Reading Agency in partnership with Futurate have launched the latest version of the website to support the Their Reading Futures initiative.
Since 2004, Their Reading Futures (TRF) has provided information, news and resources for staff in the library sector and it has been a key component in enabling library staff to enhance and develop library services for young people and their families.
The new site takes the proven TRF model and enhances it with significantly improved usability, a completely new look and feel, restructured content that has been extended to include a range of new eLearning materials, greatly improved search, the ability for site visitors to submit their own content for inclusion on the site, discussion forums and member-only content and services.
As well as forming a key focus for professional development for the library sector, Their Reading Futures also hosts a number of microsites for major reading initiatives including the Summer Reading Challenge, Headspace and Chatterbooks.
Their Reading Futures is built around Futurate’s Facilitate web content management system which is based on the popular open source product - OpenCMS. Futurate also provide professional training, support and hosting services.
Like all of Futurate’s products the Their Reading Futures site combines high impact content and ease of use to offer organisations new ways to engage with their customers.
