Hi All,
Back in July I asked for any advice or tips on improving the position of your library on your organisation’s intranet.
Many thanks to those of you who responded.
Below is a summary of the main points raised:
• Talk to you IT/Communications department or other department that administers the intranet.
• If the library administer the intranet, you may have more flexibility in where the library sits or where your publicity appears.
• Possibly propose how you want the library page to look, at the same time as pushing for an improved position.
• Get the library listed under a main category that is on the home page of the intranet.
• In some cases the hierarchy of the intranets had been decided at a higher level, e.g. to reflect the Trust’s structure – so can’t always get the position moved.
• If you can’t get library position moved - see if you can get links on pages of the intranet where customers may visit more often; these links may then re-direct people to the library pages.
• One library produced business cards that explained how to navigate on the intranet to the library’s pages and added links to pages of the intranet to their email signatures
Areas other libraries are under or have links to:
Staff Support and Development
Postgraduate Medical Centre (or similar)
Research & Development
Learning Zone
Many thanks for the help,
