The Library of Congress“To further the progress of knowledge and
creativity.”.
FragmentationFragmentation into multiple sites, domains, and identities is clearly a major problem. Users don’t know which site to visit for which purpose.
Findability Users can’t find what they need from the home page, but most users don’t come through the front door. They enter via a web search or a deep link, and are confused by what they find. Even worse, most never use the Library, because its resources aren’t easily findable.

“People keep pretending they can make things deeply hierarchical, categorizable, and sequential when they can’t.
Everything is deeply intertwingled.” Ted Nelson
“Information is blurring the lines between products and services to create multi-channel, cross-platform, trans-media, physico-digital user experiences.” Peter Morville

“After a half-hour, a three-tone alert sounds…If the bottle
still has not been opened, the system makes an automated
reminder phone call to the patient or a caregiver. The
GlowCap system compiles adherence data which anyone
can be authorized to track. That way the doctor can make
sure Gramps stays on his meds.”

Cross-Channel Strategy
Composition multi- or cross-channel; mix of
platforms, devices, media; coherence
Consistency brand, features, organization, interaction
balanced against value of optimization
Connection links, tags, signs, maps; call to action
Continuity bookmark, resume playback, flow
Context personal, social, location, time, task
Conflict identify/resolve, org chart, free-riding

Why Separate Mobile & Desktop Web Pages at Bagcheck?
With a dual template system, we were able to optimize:
1. Source Order2. Media (Speed, Quality, Interaction)3. URL Structure4. Application Design
Navigation at Bottom
Navigation at Top

To make the right decisions about composition and
consistency, you need a cross-channel strategy.

“There is a problem in discussing systems only with words. Words and sentences must, by necessity, come only one a time in linear, logical order. Systems happen all at once. They are connected not just in one direction, but in many directions simultaneously. To discuss them properly, it is necessary to use a language that shares some of the same properties as the phenomena under discussion.”
"In an era of cross-channel experiences and product-service systems, it makes less and less sense to design sitemaps and wireframes without also..."
“…mapping the customer journey, modeling the system dynamics, and analyzing impacts upon business processes, incentives, and the
org chart."
