Library Design System

The Library Design System includes principles, guidelines and reusable design elements for use across the library's digital ecosystem.

The design system is there to help all library staff create and maintain better experiences for our students and researchers. Designers, developers and content creators can use it to:

• design and build interfaces aligned to university and library brand

• manage consistency across different library platforms and experiences

• avoid creating bespoke solutions, or starting from scratch

• speed up the design and build process

It has a collection of interface elements that can be reused across the library’s digital ecosystem. Each component includes:

• Links to Deakin global component information where available

• Library-specific examples so you can see the component in action

• Code or downloadable files/file locations to access the component

• Best practices and guidelines to use the component correctly

My initial responsibility in the project was to lead the development of the library staff section of the design system. This expanded to include coordinating the transition of the Design System content from Wordpress CMS to Squiz CMS and coordinating the Library Design System release schedule.
