own content immediately• No formatting and style

restrictions

Why Enterprise?

Reception to the Site

• Users love the scroll of new books

• Interface explained in bibliographic instruction, research guides and signs

Live but not Finished

• Scheduling tasks into workflow• Creating a style & formatting guide

for future content editors • Training or facilitating training to

future content editors• Adding & changing rooms• Working around bugs• Developing graphic displays of

content

when searching for databases
