With the implementation of the new ACC Web Redesign in October, the Library Services Web Team begins the process of redesigning the library web site to align it with second tier ACC pages. {Team members: Ashley Carr, Courtney Mlinar, Steven Self, Margaret Peloquin (LS Web Manager) plus Carrie Gits (Social Media Point person)}
The new ACC site is Drupal-based. After reviewing the possibility of becoming a drupal site and after discussion with other IRT web designers, LS will remain an HTML site for the near future.
A redesign planning map has been created and can be viewed using an expandable pdf file at
The general timeline -- October 2013 - July 15 2013 -- is outlined in more detail on the map.
Two surveys have been implemented thus far:
- A survey of all LS staff as to the importance of home page links for the new LS Home Page.
- The survey was conducted during November and the results distributed to the LS Web Team after Thanksgiving.
- Comments and suggestions from that survey will determine, along with input from other library web site users, which links should remain on the home page and what they might be called.
- A Quick Survey asking users of the LS Web Site why they were/are using the web site each time they use it was implemented on 6 December and will closed on 31 January.
New Library Services Logo
Simultaneously, an ad-hoc group lead by Web Manager Margaret Peloquin is looking at redesigning the LS logo for a more recognizable look.

A section in the wiki has been set up to add ideas and other web sites or logos for all members of the ad-hoc group to review. A tentative deadline has been set for early June 2014. |
