Everyone turns out to be a web designer. In the near future we will be soliciting images from the University community that represent significant UMDweb resources. The image also be a link to the specific page within UMDweb. We believe that this feature will add interest to the home page and provide many web authors working to enrich UMDweb an opportunity for the recognition they deserve. Since we can't possibly support a complete Events bulletin board, we welcome your suggestions as to the sorts of information that would be significant and interesting.
Bigger changes are on the way.
Until now UMDweb has evolved fundamentally as an intranet, providing information to the University community. We need to find ways to promote the UMDweb as an Internet resource, to make it a useful and friendly place for a larger community to visit while still maintaining its important function as a University intranet. Many people have put time into improvements for this design, and we thank them for it. Much of the credit for the design and clever implementation of compromises goes to Tom Minnefor of Academic Computing Services who also conceived and implemented the current Spotlight exhibition. As always, we're glad to hear from you.
