[WEB4LIB] re: library splash pages

[Tami-Jo M. Eckley]

Yes Peter,  this is my thinking in how to deal with the "splash page" that they are pushing to us.  Perhaps the "splash page" can be the place for events, employment opportunities, special exhibits, hours, staff, etc. - and our new library home page will be focused on research, databases, periodicals, etc.  How does this sound?  Are there any examples of this out there?

It sounds like your are now talking about different home pages for different
audiences, which is very different than having a splash page and a home
page.

Thanks for the quick input.  I felt the same way at first but now I am
toying with the idea of using this "splash page" as the home page for
certain things and creating a new page for research.  (I was already in the
process of redesigning our library's home page a bit - and our theme as
well).  I was thinking along the lines of how some libraries have two home
pages:  one for publicity and the other for research.  ????  Love to hear
your thoughts.
