Libraries Web Editor

The role of the Libraries Web Editor* is to:

  • clarify the mission and vision for the Library web site
  • determine what content/functionality the site will contain
  • specify how users will find information in the site by defining its organization, navigation, labeling and search systems
  • maintain primary and secondary level pages
  • map out how the site will accommodate change/growth over time
  • consult with and arrange training for departmental web editors

 

Departmental Web Editors

Each department has a web editor, whose duty it is to develop and maintain pages, and to serve as a liaison between the department, other web editors, WAG and the Libraries web editor. The web editors attend monthly meetings of the Web Editors Group.

 

Reporting Lines*:



The Web Editor reports to the Head of Research and Instruction. Important decisions concerning a major redesign or change in content of the web site are discussed with members of WAG which will make a recommendation to TOG. The TOG representative on WAG relays any concerns back to WAG. An example of a change that would be appropriate to bring to TOG would be adding another major entry point to the homepage. Periodic updates on WAG activities will be given at DHG in the small groups reports segment of the DHG meeting by members who serve on both groups.
