Website Launches

Check out some recently launched CommonSpot websites:

With the launch of the Health site, we took our first major step towards a central repository for profile data.  The doctor and clinic profiles are being driven by a new database, integrated with CommonSpot.  (Let us know if you need access to manage any of this information.)  We'll be expanding this system to accommodate research, academic and general institutional people and places in the upcoming months.

Other websites coming soon:

  • Harold Schnitzer Diabetes Health Center
  • Casey Eye Institute
  • Doernbecher
  • School of Dentistry
  • School of Nursing


WSAC Blog

The Web Strategies Advisory Committee is blogging!  You're welcome to peruse recent posts and discussions.  (available from within the OHSU network only; no remote access)  In particular, you might be interested in looking over the draft social networking guidelines and tips.

 

Global Footer

In May, we asked for web manager feedback on a new footer.  Thank you to everyone who weighed in - your feedback was very helpful for us and the advisory committee.

The committee voted almost unanimously in favor of the update.   Within the next week, we'll be putting together a time line for the roll-out.  Web managers will also be invited to comment on a draft version of the footer with actual content before it goes live (the comps only show sample content).
