Working Groups and Web Development Team

Web Oversight Working Group

The Web Oversight Working Group (WOWG) is a standing body comprised of approximately twelve members, with faculty, staff, and student representation. Formed in the summer of 1999, the group makes policy recommendations to the Dean of Library and Information Services, who presents the group?s recommendations to Executive Council for approval.

The WOWG is charged to consider all facets of the Plattsburgh State Web site, including such items as

• Systematic development,
• Functionality,
• Policy,
• Design,
• Navigation,
• Support,
• Editorial quality,
• Consistency, and
• Accuracy.

The WOWG formulated an initial policy document outlining goals for site development and classification of campus Web pages; this document was approved by Executive Council in July of 2000. The group also proposed the hiring of a Web Editor and the development of a student Web Guild. While the Guild was never funded, the Web Editor was hired in the summer of 2001.
