This past year we spun off a small group to look at producing a staff-related Web page which went up this year. It is important for our site that we understand how the site is used so that we can incorporate this understanding into our decision making. Though over the past year we have taken some steps to improve our ability to collect data, we still need to work on summarizing it to make it more useful, and on promoting its use within the Libraries. The current use of Dreamweaver to maintain parts of our site has not been completely satisfactory. Ideally we could provide a method of maintaining our pages which was easier, requiring little training, and have staff to support the method either at OIT or within the Libraries.
Further investigation is needed.
Promoting Site One issue is that we need to continue working on promoting the site to patrons. Another issue is helping Libraries staff and faculty see how they could use the Web more to communicate with their patrons. We are hoping that the coming year will bring more connectivity with the Web catalog and the catalog data. Many projects could benefit from this, and we now have some progress to build upon.
