I’m so excited to say that our redeveloped Kā kohika site is now live! You can navigate to it through the library website, google it or access it here:
There may be a few technical teething issues as the DNS servers take time to refresh, so the new site may not show off campus for a few hours.
This has been an amazing collaborative effort by MB and LAC staff, and what you may not know is that the technical redesign has been done in-house, by our talented e-services team! The Resource Discovery team have also made a huge contribution in upgrading the data, which was essential for the creation of the new ‘content blocks’ that you’ll seen on the homepage. Erin and Lydia have created the curatorial vision for the site, drawing on their knowledge of the collections and data base, over a number of years. MB team members have contributed their knowledge and often work on data clean up and image uploading work that help to enhance the site. Thanks also to the design reference group of staff who helped come up with the look and feel of the home page, your input was much appreciated. This was ably coordinated by Donna, who has been amazing throughout!
The results of this project are outstanding and I feel lucky to work with such a talented group of library staff.
Jump on and have a look and feel free to post any feedback here or send it to me. We are ‘soft launching’ this week, so will begin promoting more in the coming weeks with some help from our marketing colleagues.
Looks great, well done everyone!
