Website redesign--RFP dateline extended to December 15

Biomedical and Life Sciences Division, Special Libraries Association (SLA) Web Site Redesign

The Biomedical and Life Sciences Division (DBIO) requests proposals for the revision and redesign of
their existing website located at http://units.sla.org/division/dbio/.

Please submit your proposal no later than December 15, 2006.

Website redesign project must be completed by June 30, 2007.

Our goals for the new web site redesign are to promote the Divisions image and services; increase
membership; facilitate two way communication; encourage initial and return visits through improved
usability and appeal; and capture the interest of our members and potential members by its format, ease of
use, attractiveness, color, and identifiable logos. It is expected that the redesign will create an
infrastructure that makes the site easier to maintain, to add new content and to make future
improvements. The DBIO website is hosted by SLA, our parent organization.

With this website we wish to communicate that DBIO is part of SLA, the leading global organization for
innovative information professionals and their strategic partners. DBIO supports information
professionals who are working or interested in the life sciences and related disciplines, through
education, advocacy and networking. DBIO Division needs to have its own identity separate from our
parent organization (www.sla.org) while still maintaining a synergy in look and feel between the two.
The Medical Section serves as a forum for our members who are engaged or interested in health care. We want
to personalize the Medical Section with a separate logo, and offer web content specific to this segment
attributes, while maintaining consistency in look and feel throughout the entire DBIO site.

Under the guidance of the DBIO Website redesign committee, the successful candidate will perform the
following activities:

Website redesign:

Summary : Free Trials Evaluation Form

Hi All--
I received several responses to my original request to share samples of
evaluation forms for free trials of electronic resources.  Thank you to all
who responded!

Some of them were very specific to the particular resource(s) being trialed
:

*  How well does  Database A's content meet the research needs of your
discipline?[Comments box]
*  Have you used Database B for your research or teaching in the past?
Yes/No
*  How would you rank  Database A's content in comparison to Database B?
Not as good / the same / better
*  How would you rate the search interface of Database A?
Easy / Average / Somewhat Complex / Difficult
*How would you rate the search interface of Database B?
Easy / Average / Somewhat Complex / Difficult
* Which of these two products better meets your research needs?
Database A / Database B / Don't Know
* Comments on the overall quality and usefulness of Database A?

Some were very simple and direct :
Select one : 
___Yes, I think Database C will be a valuable resource that I will use on a
regular basis.   We should purchase an annual subscription.
__ No, we should NOT purchase an annual subscription to Database C.
Comments :

Some were nice and generic :

Summary: Document Repositories


Original Post:
I am working with a group in the early stages of developing a hospital-wide
document repository of clinical practice guidelines, interdisciplinary
guidelines, etc. and providing access to these documents via our intranet.
Since the nursing department is experimenting with what they are calling "mini
Google" (and I am assuming is really the Google Mini product), it was thought
that the new project should simply reside with those documents instead of
creating another document "silo." I have been asked to review the Google
search tool for use in searching the document repository.  While Google has
its pros and cons, what concerns me more is the bigger picture of creating
DOCUMENTS that are searchable and will continue to be searchable as we migrate
in future to a content management system. I'd really like to be able to save
us time in the future by recommending good document creation from the
beginning. Right now the nursing pilot program has HTML and PDF documents. I
will be suggesting 1) embedding metadata (probably XMP for the PDFs) into the
documents and 2) creating a style guide for the formatting of documents. I
want to make sure, however, that I'm not overlooking other facets that are
equally important. Can anyone point me to a definitive article or two that
outline the basic considerations for creating searchable documents? I've found
articles on the mechanics of HTML/XMP markup but am looking for the broader
sense of creating documents in formats that transition well among applications.

Summary of Responses:

I was with the digital library interest group of LITA of ALA. There was  much
discussion of institutional repositories, creation of metadata,  software and
hardware in that group. The link is
http://www.ala.org/ala/lita/litamembership/litaigs/diglibtech/digitallibrary.ht
m  However it hasn't been updated in a year.
