Below is a listing of the basic information included on all Lincoln home pages. Other pertinent information may be added, such as, headings for special program or projects, affiliations on and off campus, highlighted students, staff or faculty.

In order for websites to remain current and accurate, one person in each office is identified who will maintain the updated web pages. In addition, another person is identified who will review the content of office web pages for accuracy and timeliness of information. It is suggested that each office use a faculty member or professional staff person to review for accuracy. Each department chair or office director is responsible for theaccuracy of the information on their office website, just as they are responsible for the accuracy of written information about the office.

ATS staff will train office designees in updating web pagesand consult with you and your staff regarding information to include. Updates need to be carefully maintained so that web pages do not become "cobweb sites". For example, updates to calendars should be done weekly, course information by semester, and all information should be reviewed twice per year before each semester begins.

The following information is needed on each departmental or office website.

Department/Office name
Location and phone/fax numbers
