Abstract
Hospital library websites serve as a portal to the library’s rich set of content resources and tools. They have evolved greatly since the early days of the Internet. This article traces the course of evolution of the library webpage for Allina Health Library Services from the mid-1990s to the present. Allina Health Library Services was an early adopter of technology, leading the way in webpage development for our institution. Over time, the library webpage went through several iterations, leading to a mature, but more tightly controlled intranet environment. This, in fact, became constrictive and counterproductive. The recent adoption of LibGuides as the main portal page has returned us to freedom and flexibility.
医院图书馆网站是图书馆丰富内容资源和工具的门户。自从互联网出现以来，它们已经有了很大的发展。本文追溯了Allina Health图书馆服务的图书馆网页从20世纪90年代中期到现在的演变过程。Allina Health Library Services是技术的早期采用者，在我们机构的网页开发方面处于领先地位。随着时间的推移，图书馆网页经历了几次迭代，形成了一个成熟但控制更严格的内联网环境。事实上，这种做法变得狭隘，适得其反。最近采用LibGuides作为主要门户页面，使我们重获自由和灵活性。
