We just started a new blog, that we call "What's
New". We post hours,
news events, upcoming seminars or training sessions etc.
there rather
than trying to catch where the students are going.
Oh, we also are old fashioned enough that we post paper
signs around the
physical library as reminders.

Subject: [Web4lib] Need efficient way to post "library
closing" message
In the past, we have added a message to the top of selected
pages on our
web site to inform our users of the library's closure over
the winter
holidays. For example, we would add a message to our home
page, main
database page, our request forms, "Ask a
Librarian" email reference
form, etc. There are probably about 18 pages that were
involved. We
thought that we should add this message to more than just
our home page
as users may take various routes to get to a specific page.
I'm wondering if there are other more efficient ways to
handle this
other than manually adding the message to each page and
deleting it
after we come back to school in January. We recently
revised our web
site to be XHTML compliant and to use style sheets.
Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Our web site is
at
<http://library.webste
r.edu>.
