This fostered a sense of manageability in what, at times, appeared to be an overwhelming task. The subject directory structure is a familiar one on the Web, and it allowed us a degree of flexibility as we found interesting materials to add to the exhibit. Each piece could then easily be placed in a specific location within the exhibit s hierarchy. The Welcome section contains an introduction to the exhibit and letters of welcome from the current and past presidents of the university. Academics includes areas on departments, faculty and staff, and campus facilities.
History presents a timeline, presidential history, and events.
Student Life contains sports, organizations, and the local community. Reflections displays transcripts of oral histories and letters. Contact Us is where the user can give us feedback, and this section also provides contact information about contributing items to be included in the exhibit or to be added to the university archive collection. Once we began the project we found it deceptively easy to agonize over the small details and, at times, to lose sight of the big picture. We lost time as we worried about the style and size of fonts, backgrounds, and page layouts.
