Thank you everyone for your feedback – and patience – while we deal with the known and unexpected issues since the new website launch. It will take a while for us all to adjust to the new component arrangement and stricter permissions. More training will become available to us in the new year, as will a new UC style guide, and the Web Project team will continue creating outstanding pages (ie our Art and Archives pages, temporarily housed here).

Some wins are:

• staff contact cards now available on the Contact Us, Te ao Māori and Pacific pages (more work to be done on the cards themselves)
• improved(ish) Databases and Library Room Bookings pages
• new, shinier Library image
• link maker tool page improved

What we’re working on:

• Subject and specialist librarians page – we have gotten some clarity over the issues with the contact cards. We are able to include contact information (will implement next week) and are working on alternative means to display subject areas
• The problem with Library News has been identified and the web team is looking into it (we are not the only department affected)
• The web team will be creating individualised social media icons in the near future
• Converting our external page headers and footers to the new style

The Web Project team report they have received 277 responses to the new website, 158 of those are still outstanding.
