Old work

Attached to this page is a document I created based on a series of focus groups with librarians undertaken at UMich to determine what people want out of a research guide/subject guide/course guide editor and presentation package. It references our local situation and assumes a stand-alone web product, but most of the ideas presented and the reasoning behind them should apply equally well in any Sakai-based implementation.
