Ron,

Bootstrap or Foundation are great frameworks for starting quickly with
responsive design, but you'll get the most out of your site if you do
the work yourself, based on your own content. If you'd like to learn
more, check out my talk from ALA last month on Responsive Design for
libraries. It's part theory and part hands-on, walking you through the
techniques.

Cheers,

-Matthew

So not a re-definition; just an additional meaning.
