The group discussed the feedback from the student and staff web site focus groups. The suggestions for future web projects were very much in line with our project plans. Several participants commented on the need to help people find the search engine. The group suggested adding a text link for the search engine on the bottom of the major section pages. Clearly there is some degree of confusion here.
More current information is available on department home pages.
Julie, Nancy, and Sara will discuss and work on this. A faculty focus group will be held in Carnegie immediately following today's Web Management Team meeting. Joel will gather schedule information and suggest a new meeting time. Joel reported on the status of the special web funding. Joel and Sara are working with staff from the Alumni and Development offices on options for services to alumni, such as permanent e-mail forwarding addresses, online donation, and online directory.
