Good Morning ....

For those of you in a more restrictive web environment, you might be interested in viewing the US Dept of Education standards, first reported to this list by Elisabeth Roche ("Fwd: Dept of Educ WWW Server Standards & Guidelines", Tue, 23 Jul 1996 15:47:34 -0700).

Although the guidelines are written for a government setting, they might provide a framework for you to work within in when dealing with other administrative units within your institution's bureaucracy.

The current revised edition, "World Wide Web Policy and Procedures" is available online at:

     http://www.ed.gov/internal/wwwstds.html 

in PDF, MS Word 6.0, and ASCII text versions.

I hope this has been of help.

I would like to know if any of you are completely in charge of what goes 
into your Home Page/Site or if you need to be consistent with the rest of 
the college's site.  Do you need to answer to the college's Webmaster or 
does the library have autonomy.  I would really appreciate input on this 
since we are currently undergoing major change at Manhattanville 
College, and at present, we must answer to the College Webmaster.
