> Dear all,
>
> I've just had a meeting with Keith Brown about the changes going on
> with the SPSS website:
>
> 1. All degree information is eventually going to be held on the
> school website, rather than the department websites. See the new
> graduate pages for an example http://www.sps.ed.ac.uk/gradschool/.
> Not everything has been moved over yet – but it will.
>
> 2. Subject area websites will become more research focused –
> apparently all the research stuff is hidden away and people never
> find it. So we need to think about how we want to increase the
> profile of our research on the social anthropology website. There
> will also be something on ‘knowledge transfer’ (which, if I
> understand it correctly, means communicating with the world outside
> academia)
>
> 3. We will be able to update our own personal webpages. Possibly as
> soon as September.
>
> 4. The school website will be redesigned so that activities on
> related areas can be linked together – so if you ‘publish’
> something on the website (say a podcast of a lecture, or
> information on a new research grant) you can ‘tag’ it with one of a
> predefined list of keywords (there will be 'procedures' to request
> new keywords). That way anyone browsing the website looking for
> research done on, say, kinship, will pull together stuff from
> social anthropology as well as other subject areas.
>
> 5. Since this is all in development, and Keith is open to ideas,
> now is a good time to think about what you would like to do with
> the website. Let me know. Any research groups within the department
> (eg ‘bones’ and SAHI) might want to start thinking about this as
> well as individuals. Keith is willing to come and talk to
> interested groups about new ideas.
>
> 6. The ‘double’ website – no luck with this I’m afraid – the best
> Keith can offer is that it will ‘go away’ once the school website
> has been reorganised (some time in the autumn term). There is one
> more person I can ask about this, I’ll give it a shot…
>
> Cheers,
