Guidelines for Institutional & Faculty/Staff Professional Pages

Institutional web pages are those maintained by an official unit of Marywood University. These include various areas of the University and student organizations. Professional pages for faculty and staff are web pages that contain information directly related to one's position at Marywood. One's professional page may contain a link to ones personal page.

Beginning in September, 2008, institutional web sites that are hosted on the main Marywood University server will be moving into a content management system (CMS).  The CMS will provide templates and stylesheets to maintain a consistency of user experience for institutional sites.  Any institutional sites that are not hosted on the main server will be expected to adopt templates consistent with those used in the CMS.  Until converted to CMS templates, institutional sites on any server must adhere to the following guidelines.

Professional web sites must continue to adhere to to these guidelines. 

Elements that must appear on all institutional and faculty/staff professional web pages:

1. Identification/Graphic Image
   Because Web visitors can enter a page directly without going through the Marywood University home page, it is important to let them know where they are. These official sections of the Marywood web site may contain the University wordmark or other symbols of the University. In the least, they should contain the words "Marywood University" prominently on the first screen viewed of each document. Also, all pages must display the University seal as a clickable graphic linked to the Marywood home page (for example, near the bottom of the document).

    

2. Name of the unit publishing the page

    

3. Copyright statement

   For institutional pages: © 2006 by Marywood University

   For professional pages: © 2006 by Name of author

    

4. Name or title, along with the e-mail address of site maintainer.
   It is expected that the maintainer of the site will check and respond appropriately to any e-mail messages received. This mail should be checked daily or, at the very least, a minimum of 3 times a week.

    

5. Date of the last update
