The Society of American Archivists

http://www.archivists.org/

Intended Audience
The target audience of this website is anyone who is a member or interested in joining the Society of American Archivists, or anybody interested in the archival profession and archives in the United States.

Usefulness of Content
This site has much useful content. It contains information about the Society and its doings, and how to become a member. It also contains job postings, information about educational events such as workshops, information on its annual meetings, and much more. It also has a section called "Student Information" within the Education section that contains information about which schools have archival programs, an overview of the archival profession, and information about internships. Overall, this site contains much useful information for the budding archivist.

Consistency of Design
This site is designed consistently. Each page in the site has the same general appearance and layout. One design issue is that some pages, including the home page, are fairly long so many people may miss information towards the bottom of the page.

Ease of Navigation
The navigation on this site is good. The navigation bar consists of tabs at the top of the page and menus that pull down when moused over. This system makes various sections in the site easy to find, although I must say that I generally prefer a navigation bar on the left side. One potential issue in this site is that, while the headings for the pages correspond well to the options in the menu, there is no indication of which section a page would be in on the page itself. This could potentially cause confusion on where one is in the site if one links into the site instead of navigating to a page through the site.
