Informal status report

I apologize for the long wait. I've been working on a different web project, but that's no excuse. There are several things to bring up, so we likely will need to meet again.


a) The page content.

Here's the original list complied on July 10th:

CH:
Databases by name
Databases by Subject
newspapers

MW:
Off-campus access
The Reference Desk
Contact
Distance Learning
Purchase requests
Job Opportunities

KN:
Tutorials
For faculty/Staff
For Students
Comments


ML:
Ask A Librarian
Subject Librarians
Style Guides
Staff and Departments
Interlibrary Loan [will no longer simply link to Iliad]
Tours and Instruction
copying/printing

KC:
Visitor Information
History [um, of the library]
For the Community

CR:
Friends of the Library

MM:
Computer Lab [not marked on sheet, but I assume it's his]

Orphans:
[these links don't truly need anything new in terms of content or will be handled in a special way. If they do later, we can arrange something]
FAQs
Subject Guides
Floor Plan
Blog
Annual report
Policy
Privacy

Here are the completed parts that I know about (I'm sorry if I forgot something):

--Maren's "contact us" and "Help---->Reference Desk" are here:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/ulmlwpcblog/2008_09_01_archive.html

Megan's "Style Guides," "ILL," "Photocopying/Printing" are here:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/ulmlwpcblog/2008_08_01_archive.html

(By the way-- Someone had a session at LUC about how to add Uni. colors and a logo to the Illiad interface. Did anyone go to that? We should think about it.)

Here are Karen Cook's "Visitor Information" "History" and "Community":
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/History of the ULM University Library.docx
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/community-services-n-info.docx
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/visitor-info.docx
(For being .docx files, the markup imports into html rather well)

Megan's "Library Instruction," "Departments & Faculty/Staff Page," "Ask-A-Librarian Page," "Subject Librarians Page"
and Maren's "Find articles--->Off-campus access" and Subject Librarians Page are all here:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/ulmlwpcblog/2008_07_01_archive.html

My ""For Faculty" page (I think I may change this)
http://www.ulm.edu/%7Eniemla/newpages/forfaculty.html
My "For Students" page (I think I may change this too)
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/newpages/forstudents.html
My "Tutorials" page will be like this, minus the graphics, and plus or minus some tutorials (I certainly will be chaging this)
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/gggg/insdemo.html

b)
There has been some confusion as to whether "comments" or "contact us" will have separate forms. We need one form that will allow people to ask us questions or give us comments. I have the ability to create a basic one that emails itself to a designated address. I do not, however, know how to format or embed such a thing. Example:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/newpages/ref-email-test/

c) The Friends of the Library doesn't seem to be particularly active, the last I heard. I will make one if no one else wants to.

d) Where is the template as of this time? I would like to begin work on converting/fixing my old pages, unless that's inappropriate.

e) Directories. What will be done with /reference and /govdocs? What pages will go on /library and what won't? I've been thinking about it for a while, actually.

f) Apparently, the blog has lost some functionality, like linking to posts, after moving it to ULM. Oh well. :-( At least I know not to try that again.
