Cleaning up the style sheets

Friday, March 17th, 2006

Our style sheets need some work. Some things don’t display so nicely in Firefox, and I’m scared to look at them from a MAC. Nothing breaks, they just need some help.

I’ve also been wanting to set us up so that people don’t have to click ‘printer friendly’ in order to get a printer friendly version. Information here.

But I wonder if it’s worth the effort at this point - maybe we’ll create a cleaner style that prints better?

Content: what’s buried, what’s non-existant, what could be RSS’d?

Buried content:

  • E-reserve (+ reserves, period)
  • check your circulation record

Non-existant content:

  • how to print
  • photocoppy and printing info (including color printing)
  • library services for disabled students.

RSS feeds:

  • New books
  • new databases.

Other ideas?

Websites for the team to look at

Tuesday, February 21st, 2006

This is just a start. We’ll probably want to look at each site and list what we like, and also list more sites.

NCSU Libraries - I like the front-page organization of this site, and some of the link labels are very good.

ASIS&T Website - I need to explore this further, but I went to look for something specific and found it very easily.
