Web Steering Group - Webpage Creation Process

Changes/Corrections/Additions to Sites on the Library’s Web Pages

A. For pages that YOU own

1. Copy the current page content to a Word document to make corrections/additions/changes

2. If changing more than a link or removing something from the page, have someone on the editorial board proofread it for you. 

3. Make editorial changes and send the proofread Word document to Joel. [Reference department will send new content to Ruby. Be sure to tell Joel or Ruby who your editor was.

Joel [or Ruby] will upload to website. 

B. If you notice an error, dead link, or have a recommendation for a webpage that you DO NOT Own

1. Send your suggestion to Joel, who will forward it to the page owner. If it is a link on the homepage, Joel will send it to the Web Steering Group.

2. The page owner, if he or she chooses to take the suggestion, will follow the “For Pages that You Own” instructions.

C. For A Brand New Page*

1. Person/Department creates content in a Word document.

2. New content will go through the editorial board.

3. Decide where you want the page to be linked (for example, “on the homepage under Collections”).  Send the Word document and link information to Joel who will forward it to the rest of Web Steering Committee.  The Web Steering Committee will approve the placement of the new page, since it affects the architecture, look and feel of the website.

*This process does not apply to LibGuides or the LibraryInsider pages, wikis, or blogs.

D. For any recommended changes to the Library’s homepage.

(For example, you think that the “Newspapers” link should be placed somewhere else. Or you think a certain link should be added to/removed from the homepage).

Give your recommendation to Joel, who will forward it to the Web Steering Committee.
