Print and electronic resources now appear together in the Library Catalogue. Once the appropriate database has been identified it can be accessed by one of several methods. Where the Library has a Web subscription, access is controlled either by IP address or by password. A small number of databases cannot be networked under NT, and are now only available on stand- alone machines in the appropriate library. The look and feel of the pages has been updated and made consistent, so that the Catalogue, the Roads database pages and the Library information pages share a common style incorporating the new Library logo.
Navigation is consistent within the information pages, with a standard header and footer.
The use of Frames was considered, and rejected. Authoring standards have been agreed, and authorship is shared among many staff under the eye of Web Co-ordinator Bill Jupp. Most authors use FrontPage Express, with some tidying up using HtmlWriter or just NotePad. As mentioned above, almost all URLs have changed so please update your bookmarks and, especially, any links to Library pages from pages you maintain, or any references in teaching material. For help in accessing the databases and electronic journals, please contact your Library Faculty Team .
