Library Web Site Management Web Sites

[Marsha Miller]

greetings from Indiana State University.

The Library's Public Interface Team [aka the library's 'webmasters'] are working to better codify our efforts. That means, naturally, a web site devoted to what the team is for as well as resources and info provided by the team for other members of the Library. 

I have looked via Hotbot for other library sites but haven't had a lot of luck. One problem is that there are a lot of different names for the group that does this. Below are the best results I've found thusfar. If your institution has such a site, or if you know of a site that is gathering these sorts of sites, I need those urls!

If you have a group/team but don't have a website: if you have any documentation [word documents, etc.], especially those outlining policy as well as procedure, I'd greatly appreciated receiving those as well!

What I found via a lot of different Hotbot searches:
