Chancellor Robert Hemenway announced the arrival of the new KU home page at the faculty convocation yesterday at the Kansas Union Ballroom. "Students will be able to learn things quickly, efficiently and easily. It is the gateway to all the special home pages at the University," Hemenway said. "It is the window to the University for the entire world." site, The http://www.ukans.edu/ , has been redesigned and updated to make sifting through facts and information about the University easier. New graphics, photos of campus and button bars that link users to other KU pages greet users at the gateway page. The page also links Chancellor Robert Hemenway introduced the new University of Kansas home page at yesterday's faculty convocation. The page can be found at http://www.ukans.edu/ we had home pages about KU spread all around the University that weren't necessarily tied together. There was no single access point - that's the advantage of the new page." Henenway said. to the home pages of the University of Kansas Medical School and Regents Centers. Greg Crawford, graphic designer at University Relations and designer of the new home page, said that a committee from academic computing, the University libraries, and University Relations had been working since December 1995 to redesign the page graphically and functionally. bridge the different campuses and stress academics," Crawford said. "The page needed to be straightforward but visually arresting." "The gateway page needs to exemplify what the University is. We were looking for something to Alexandra Mason, committee member, compared the new home page to an encompassing web. "We used to have a lot of little spider webs of information — now we have one big web," said Mason, a librarian at the Spencer Research Library. Mason said keeping the site complete and interconnected was going to be a big challenge. The committee worked hard on the organization of the knowledge that was available so that subjects led logically from one to another, Mason said. William Crowe, vice chancellor for information services and dean of libraries, said he was impressed with the talent that put the new home page together. "Just like a real spider web, if one little filament doesn't work, there is a problem in the whole system," Mason said. "This came out of our own hides — the talent of our own faculty and staff," Crowe said. "This is a very important thing. It is one other front door to information about the University. It is our Internet ambassador." Committee narrows conservator field to 2 By Kimberly Crabtree Kansan staff writer Library personnel are interviewing two candidates for the job of conservator, who will help preserve the collections in the KU libraries. Sandra Gilliland, assistant to the dean of libraries for personnel, said hiring a conservator was not a new idea. "We've been talking about this for at least a year and a half," she said. Action toward hiring a conservator came after a recommendation in a study released this summer by the Preservation Task Force. The task force examined collections in Watson Library and each of the branch libraries. One finding by the task force was that nearly 50 percent of the materials that had been circulated six or more times in the past 10 years were mutilated. The conservator's responsibilities will include overseeing all conservation treatments, maintaining quality control for treatments done in the conservation lab and assisting the preservation librarian, Brian Baird, with staff training on new treatments. Gilliland said the search committee, which consists of library staff, had conducted a nationwide search. Qualifications for the candidates include a bachelor's degree and at least three years' experience in chemical materials analysis and treatment of artifacts and/or education in museum studies, American history, American studies, conservation or library science. The full-time position will pay $26,376 annually. William Crowe, vice chancellor for information services and dean of libraries, said the conservator's salary already was in the budget and would come from converting a vacated position. by more money, Crowne said. Gillianland said she expected the conservator to be hired by mid-September, after both candidates were interviewed. "The University didn't give us anymore money." Crowe said.
