Good communication is key to creating successful relationships with users. Adopting plain language guidelines helps avoid academic or technical jargon and clears a path to concise and easy-to-understand copy understandable to the widest audiences. Whether for website content or library signage, these best practices for writing will help libraries of all types communicate more clearly and effectively.
