Copy: Staff and Departments

Here's Megan's copy for Library Departments:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/LIBRARY DEPARTMENTS.docx

And here's the html version I made from it:
http://www.ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/people.htm

I changed it a bit to work in html. There's a list by Dept. and another by name. The name list is short enough that it mostly fits into a normal window, so it doesn't need alphabetical links. The list by name was derived from the ULM Email Search, so if anything is wrong on that it will be wrong on this list (for instance, William had no phone or room, but I fixed that). All depts. that have pages should be linked in future, also.

Doc = please no

If your web page copy contains anything besides text (images, tables, etc.) please don't use MS Word, or else it has to be re-done to have the right code in html. Text is easy to clean up, but tables are not.

Well, you know how I get about Microsoft...

Copy: KC's Alumni + visitor info

I got these much earlier today, truth be told:

Guide to the Library on the website?

Ok, I'm probably revealing my ignorance (again--nothing new in this), but is there any place on the current (or soon-to-be) library website where the contents of the goldenrod "Guide to the Use of the Library" appears?

Some new-ish pages

I finished most of the pages I was supposed to do. Mostly finished, anyway. Please do let me know if there's something that must be changed.

http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/faq.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/forstudents.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/forfaculty.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/maphtml.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/mappage.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/subjectguide.html
http://ulm.edu/~niemla/done-kn/tutorials.html

I've sent those all to Mike in a .zip file.

I've also figured out how to put a PHP form into the template. I have some version of that on my site, which can run such script, now:

Why not try Kompozer? And get a new web page?

I did learn something interesting at Dr.Beutner's presentation on Friday. Although I've long been recommending SeaMonkey for html composition, there's another program called Kompozer (which you may have heard of) that works just as well but does not require an installer. It looks and feels just like SeaMonkey's "composer." (SeaMonkey is still a good all-in-one app., though)

Also, if you want to get the files and directions on how to use the new ULM faculty web page template (not required, but very nice), go to the TLRC's site:

Minutes for Nov. 20, 2008

In attendance were:

KC
MMag
MW
CH
ML
LJ
KN

Most of the pertinent notes were kept in this image during the meeting.
Here's the "key":

-- Green slash = on track
-- Green ? or ! or blue text = coming along but with possible issues
-- Red = needs to be addressed



Not on the image...

-- KC is to make an Alumni-related page
-- KN is to inform reference librarians that we are to compose a list of databases for each dept. they do. They are to send them to KN who will organize them and send them to CH.
-- Capitalization on home page links should be consistent
-- There no known demand for a Faculty Publications page. There is a way to do that with our catalog
-- The process of creating working forms will soon begin

[The collection Policy seems have to be talked about already]

Do let me know if I have forgotten anything.
