Research Guides New Banners

After several options were viewed by the Campus Guides Advisory Group, they settled upon those on this test page:   http://researchguides.austincc.edu/newbanner

Courtney Mlinar, Campus Guides Facilitator, asked me to deploy the new banners and to add a revision date to the current footer.

==== PLAN ====
  • Clean up the code on the banners for each group.
    • Landing Page, i.e., the Research Guides home page
    • Library Guides
    • Subject Guides
    • Class Guides
    • Information Plus Guides
    • Faculty Staff Page
  • Make slightly smaller
    • ACC Logo
    • LS logo -- Make "Library Services" clearer
  • Pad the ACC Logo a little more top and left
  • Add the revision date to the footer -- done on the home page system settings
  • Add the new banner code to each existing group

Making Library Web Pages More Accessiblle Continued

Some tools for checking accessibility:
508checker.com

One thing I know is inconsistent -- tagging images.

 Plan of Action

  • Select sample pages from each folder.
  • Run a check from each of the tools listed above.
  • Note issues that are probably on most pages, e.g., 
    • alt tag images that appear everywhere;
    • common phrases or coding that appear everywhere.
  • Determine if  can do global fix with Textcrawler.
  • Use the same chart as before to guide any fixes.
  • Do miscellaneous fixes that cannot be done globally.

  •  Some global things:
    •  replace ---  b> with strong>

Folders to do global replace  b> with strong>
