Responsive web design changes the focus from being device and template centered to being content centered, which is appropriate for the types of services that libraries offer in the web context.Design/methodology/approachThis is an exploratory column. A brief review of the current literature regarding responsive web design was done prior to writing the column.FindingsLibraries should benefit greatly, both regarding the time invested in web design, as well as the effectiveness of services offered on the web, if responsive design is adopted.Originality/valueResponsive web design is relatively new, and is still being explored by professional web developers. Libraries that are able to adopt this methodology early on will be ahead of the curve of rapidly multiplying devices used to access the internet.
