Get Yourself A StaffGuide
Web Services is moving various StaffWeb pages into the new template and setting up departmental StaffGuides.

What’s a StaffGuide? It’s an internal LibGuide that’s designed to provide information, procedures, tools and policies for our colleagues across the Libraries. You can see examples here. StaffGuides are (mostly) available to anyone to view worldwide: they are a way to share your processes with each other and with libraries around the state and the globe.

Because StaffGuides are on the LibGuides platform, designated members of your department can update and expand the page without mediation from Web Services.

Several departments and teams have already taken the leap and converted their StaffWeb page to a StaffGuide. Would you like to be next? Contact Web Services and we’ll work with you to develop a vibrant, helpful and up-to-date web presence for your unit, department, or project.

Amy Allen Presentation
On Tuesday, October 31, the Open Access Group will host a presentation by Amy Allen, University Archivist, who will discuss her article recently published in the Journal of Librarianship and Scholarly Communication: “Lessons Learned in Partnerships and Practice: Adopting Open Source Institutional Repository Software.”  The article covers events that led up to the establishment of the Institutional Repository and the successes and shortcomings along the way.  The presentation will take place at 10:00 in Mullins 486.
