Submitting Content for the Libraries' Web Site

Minor Corrections and Suggestions

We welcome your suggestions. Please complete our Web Submission Form for any corrections or suggestions.

Submitting New or Revised Content

1. The Web Development Committee has members charged with representing broad divisions or functional areas of the libraries. Submit materials or ideas about new web modules to your representative on the Web Development Committee or to Web Services directly, after obtaining the approval of your department and / or division head. Any departments that will be potentially affected by this material being posted on the library Web page should also be consulted.

After approval, you may submit the request through the Web Submission Form or, for more complex modules, meet with the members of Web Services.

2. Guidelines for submitted material:

• New material should be submitted in electronic format; corrections or additions can be written on a printout and left a member of Web Services.
• Make suggestions regarding organization of material, layout, and navigation.
• If several procedures are stored in one long document, you may want to think about splitting the document into several different categories for ease of navigation.
• It is best NOT to convert the document to HTML before submitting, as this can insert unwanted coding.
• Consider if you would prefer a PDF format for textual documents, or HTML format. PDF formats will retain the exact look and feel of your original document. If PDF is your preferred format, be sure to include "University of Arkansas Libraries," your initials, and the date somewhere on the document.
• If the material will require special passwording for security reasons, be sure to inform Web Services when submitting.

3. After Web Services has completed a draft of the new material, you will receive an email asking you to review the pages for any corrections or additions. If no answer is received at the end of a two-week period, the pages will be assumed to be correct and will be posted live.
