This document serves as a running log of major website decisions that have been finalized. Most of these decisions will be made by the Website Advisory Working Group.
Decision | Rationale | Date | Who |
|---|---|---|---|
Contact renamed to Ask Us | The beta site main menu option was labeled as Contact. Ask Us more closely aligns to the current site. | June 2023 | Magen Bednar/MaryAnn Martin |
Changed website fonts | New fonts are being used according to OU’s new branding guidelines. | June 2023 | MaryAnn Martin & Web team |
Naming of Featured Collections feature | WAWG voted in a poll between Curated Collections and Featured Collections. Featured Collections won by a vote of 8 to 3. | 5/8/2023 | WAWG |
Use of Journal Search | WAWG conversation about some discrepancies on the site between Journals Search and Journal Search. We will use Journal, singular, going forward. | 5/3/2023 | WAWG |
Services Page | The Web team received mockups from a 3rd party in 2019 that completely redesigned these pages and heavily used various icons. WAWG decided not to implement those changes and the Web team designed the pages to be a closer match to what was on the current site | May 2023 | WAWG |
Locations Page | |||
News | The Libraries Stories content type is going away. These will just be “News” pages going forward. | April 2023 | Web team/Marketing/Drupal |
My Library feature renamed to My Favorites | My Library can confuse users who think of it as My Account. Renaming it to My Favorites more accurately describes the feature: allowing users to save their favorite libraries resources. | 2019 | Website Redesign Committee |
