Often, because of political reasons, a library's site must be designed within the frame of another organization's. In this article, the author, the e-services librarian for the Marin County Free Library in San Rafael, California, details her experience of designing a library website within the frame--and within the rules and limitations--of the county government's site. In this instance, "frame" is defined as a predetermined style sheet that frequently adds non-library content (images, navigation text) to the top, sides, and/or bottom of the page. It is within this frame that the library will need to work in its own content. The author lists four main problems with this type of "site within a site" construct: (1) Technical limitations, rules or guidelines that apply to the larger organization's site also apply to the library's site; (2) Any shortcomings of the larger organization's site also occur in the library's site; (3) The library's space on the site is limited because of the space taken up by the frame; and (4) Users have difficulty distinguishing between library and nonlibrary content. The author provides examples of such web sites designed inside frames, and also suggest possible design strategies for successfully working within another's frame.
