Moving off the College website

own content immediately• No formatting and style
restrictions
Why Enterprise?

Reception to the Site
• Users love the scroll of new books
• Design has been received incredibly well

• Anticipated confusion and clarified that databases still need to be searched individually
• Interface explained in bibliographic instruction, research guides and signs

for future content editors • Training or facilitating training to
future content editors• Adding & changing rooms• Working around bugs• Developing graphic displays of
content
Working Around Bugs

• Problem when searching Database names
Working Around Bugs

when searching for databases
