[WEB4LIB] Library "Splash" pages

Splash pages are a triumph of the PR types over people who care about the
customer.   Splash pages are something you force visitors to view before
they get to what they want.   Resistance is recommended!

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Library "Splash" pages


Our college is for the first time (believe it or not) implementing a theme
throughout the college site.  Of course, our library has its own look and
feel, with its own "home page".  Now, however, development would like to
implement the college theme with a "splash" page for the library.  I came
across one site one time but I don't remember whose it was, that had a
college or university splash page and a link that said "connect to the
library's home page here".  I am looking at similar sites.  Please respond
to me with urls of sites that have similar structures to this or other with
any other ways of dealing with a college design theme, leading into a
separate library theme.  Thanks.
