There are obviously a lot of differences between academic libraries and the details of their websites, but there are also some common approaches in the construction of those websites. By investigating trends around a few of these, I'm getting:
- Excellent practice working with SQL, specifically PostgreSQL.

- Practice with and insights around database design and judgments inherent in data gathering.
- A clear and evidence-based understanding of some major differences in the creation of academic library websites.
- A well-founded idea of what library websites offer good examples to emulate.
