Help with Implications of Library's place in University DNS

[Kent Gerber]

Dear Web Librarians,

Our Library is in the midst of a University-wide web redesign and during a
meeting we heard that the Web Services group might be considering moving
the library from it's library.bethel.edu domain to something more like
www.bethel.edu/offices/library. Is this a cause for concern?

My suspicion is that we might lose some functionality with this change but
I wanted to consult your expertise before I get too riled up.

Do any of you have experience with this kind of DNS shift and is there a
significant technological or functional change that I should be aware of
with this issue?  Our library does not have an internal Web Services group
and we depend on the University's Web Services group for these kinds of
issues.

Any advice or experience is appreciated.

Kent
