Preface:

Departments/offices in the College of Medicine and Public Health and Office of Health Sciences (COM & PH/OHS) are encouraged to develop a Web presence. Also, it has been recommended that an internal Web site be created at the College level for use by departmental administrators and COM & PH/OHS staff. Its purpose would be to provide:

a. Access to information needed by department administrators.

b. A communication tool among department administrators and COM & PH/OHS management staff.

The site will be changeable and its structure will be created in a manner dictated by the needs of the customer.

Process:

To facilitate the posting of materials to the internal site, the following guidelines should be followed:

1. Create documents using Microsoft Word (assuming that you are posting text files only). Contact the College of Medicine's IS Office (ext 8-5635 ) first if you are submitting more than just text.

2. Do a spelling and grammar check before saving to your hard drive.

3. Copy the file to a formatted disk. Send the disk and a printed hard copy to:

Wasif Malik, IS Office, 462 Prior Health Science Library.

Electronic file transfers are also available. Simply attach the file in an e-mail to malik.42@osu.edu

4. In addition to the disk and hard copy (or electronic transfer), provide a memo or e-mail to include the following:

a. Name of person(s) who will be responsible for updating the material and how often.

b. Name of primary contact person (include phone number and e-mail address).

c. The name of which directory ("General Information," Human Resources," etc.) that is to include the submitted material.

If your department simply wants to include a link to an existing home page, then e-mail R. McKenney (mckenney.1@osu.edu) the URL (http://__________________________).
