Reviewing and Revising Distance Learning and Early College Web Pages

At a meeting with Ashley Carr (Distance Learning Steward) and Kristyn Pittman (Early College Facilitator) we discussed the following:

Security Certificate (SSL) -- LSProxy

What is SSL:

• An SSL certificate is a bit of code on your web server that provides security for online communications. When a web browser contacts your secured web site, the SSL certificate enables an encrypted connection.
• [https://www.thawte.com/resources/getting-started/ssl-faq/]

Melanie Dickerman has secured a license for a "trusted" security certificate (SSL).  For the encryption to be effective, we need to change the proxied links from http://lsproxy... to https://lsproxy...  This affects several areas of Library Services.  (See Chart.)
To Be Done: Change http://lsproxy to https://lsproxy

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:

Wave

AChecker.ca

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>
