Today quite a large number of staff were involved in a library website review. Very wide ranging rather than looking at details.
Common concensus was that we have too much on our homepage (although it's not as bad as some). Could clarify some of what we do have. Could simplify some of the overall structure.
The biggest pain is still that there's no sensible way of searching across *all* the resources we have and so it becomes complicated to explain to students where to go and what to do. (Especially if they're sold, like us all, on the simplicity of Google). I can't help thinking we'll look back on the situation now as a dark age just as we look back now at Gopher and menu surfing from earlier days of the internet.

Yep, once the homepage is replaced by the virtual foyer full of milling, chatting avatars. :-)
