HSL Web Site: Questions for You
The HSL web project team (Patricia, Mark, Gillian, & Anna) would appreciate your feedback. The team has been looking at areas that seem to be represented on the web sites for all three individual libraries. The current discussion focuses on looking for topics or areas that might be consolidated on the main HSL web site. We would appreciate your feedback about whether there are functional reasons why the areas below might not be appropriate for consolidation, or if you have noticed other areas that might benefit from consolidation.
Areas for potential consolidation
1. Information about libraries:
- Location
- Contacts
- Hours
- Staff
- Services
- Classes
2. News items
3. Links to specific resources (many in common, some special to specific populations)
4. Guide/Tutorials
5. Links of interest

I should have said, it would also be very interesting to hear any ideas for new or shared content. Many thanks!

I think these areas are fair game for consolidation. Actually, I am wondering how far your group has come in its thinking. For now, I personally think we each should retain our own sites and that this would be additional -- perhaps a gateway in. So virtually all the information would be repeated on the individual library pages???

At the risk of sounding like a copycat, I have to say that I really like the content of Stanford's Lane medical library. I particularly like the organization and look of their bioresearch portal at http://lane.stanford.edu/portals/bioresearch.html. This portal seems to tap into many things I would like to see in an HSL website: featured class, focus on "finding", tips and tricks, and general organization by subject relevant areas. I also really like the "what's missing" section...to solicit feedback.
