Using Our Web CMS to Produce Academic Catalogs
Plaster Student Union 317
This presentation will focus on how we use our RedDot Web content management system to edit, approve, and publish - both electronically and in paper form - our academic catalogs. This is a project in development and I will discuss where we are in this process, our original plan and how we are succeeding, any lessons learned, and what changes or updates we have made from our original plan.
Our current catalog has been produced by an outside vendor in the past. We have used Word files from this vendor to create our catalog project in the CMS. We have created a navigation structure for the catalog that represents the table of contents from the print catalog. We import our course descriptions from our Student Information System (Datatel Colleague) database and then publish this both Web and print versions of the catalog.
