New
Redesigned Miami Sun
September 3, 2003
Submitted by Ray Uzwyshyn
There’s
a new smiling sun in the East and it’s on the library website
at http://www.library.miami.edu.
The Fall Richter library redesign features new templates, cascading
style sheets, colors and a smiling UM Sun Flash based navigation
system. The website also takes a step closer to the UM orange/green
color scheme and a larger design consistency. Stay tuned as Richter
prepares to implement a new e-chat reference and meta-database
linking system this fall continuing towards a more visual, interactive
and multimedia based paradigm. To read more about some of the
innovation planned and in development, please visit the library
weblog at http://libprod.library.miami.edu:41430/webservices.
