A New Look for the Ramaker Homepage
By danieldaily
Please join with the Ramaker staff in thinking about a new design for the library homepage. During the past year, the library staff has discussed how to improve the homepage. Along with our discussions, we have received feedback from students. As the discussion continues, we invite you to use the blog to give us your recommendations and feedback. Also, keep an eye on the blog as library staff uses it as a place to post thoughts and questions on design issues that we still thinking about.

What should be included in Quick LInks? The Quick LInks boxes serve different purposes at the libraries we looked at.
What tabs will be included with the search box?
What should the announcement feature look like and what types of announcements/advertisements will we feature?
Suggestions for wording – “Access from Off Campus”, “Remote Access”

If we want the Quick Links List to be student centered—here are a few suggestions for links. “Getting Started” “Book Marks” “Resource Gateway” “Services” “F.A.Q.” “My Library Space”
Tabs in Search Box: Books, Articles, Research Guides, My Library Account
If the announcement page had a title such as “Spotlight on…” the sky is the limit—anything our campus community would find interesting including library news, events, and resources
We could have another shorter list titled More… and have links to “Off Campus Access”, “Interlibrary Loan”, “Special Collections”, “Tell Us Your Thoughts” or “My Library Account” if we did not want it in the Search Box
