4. Policy development.
Review of draft policy (to come) of use of commercial search
tool(s) and other indirect links to advertising. This is followup to our
discussion last time.
For our discussion this morning:
DRAFT POLICY on advertising and commercial links (could be insert into
GWIS mission statement)
As a general rule, advertising banners and links to commercial
sites are not permitted from the top-level pages (homepage and two
succeeding levels) of the University's website. Under any of the following
circumstances, a commercial logo, link or other material may appear, if
judged to be consistent with the University's mission and with established
graphic standards for the page:
-- The logo or banner represents licensed software on which a core
function of the page is based, e.g., Netscape, Adobe Acrobat Reader,
RealAudio, Snap Online.
-- The link is to a vendor or other entity with a separately
contracted relationship to the University, e.g., ARAmark, Fidelity Insurance
-- The banner or logo is displayed no higher than third-level
pages in connection with departments or organizations whose activities are
regularly supported with advertising revenue or corporate sponsorships,
e.g., Cavalier Daily, Alumni News, Office of Career Planning and Placement,
sponsored academic research projects.
5. Archiving academic papers (Chip and Tom Laudeman, guest expert from ITC)
What is the University's responsibility in this regard?
Louise Dudley, Chair
