Whoooo are you?

[Brian Carney (carney)]

We designed one solution to this problem, implemented in the digital library 
that is the center of our corporate Intranet.  Pages include a 'pageinfo' 
button at the top which displays the name of the person who published the 
page, date and time of last update, content owner, etc.  Use this 
information to identify the team that built the page, and thus you can know 
where you are.  However, this required a technical approach to metadata 
capture/organization/use  which isn't part of the usual Web server.

said the caterpillar to Alice...just had occasion to drop into many of
the electronic reference forms which were posted here a few weeks ago.
Know what? In many (most?) you have NO idea what library you are in
until you back out at least one, if not two pages/levels. Reminder:
we should all parachute into the middle of our sites sometimes and
see if it is clear whose site it is?? ..and now I'm off to check all
my pages!! for proper identification (uh-oh).
