Website Guide
|
|
We have a site map (the link is in the top right hand corner), but that only tells you what the pages are called. The Website Guide (which is under development) tells you where to look for various things (documents and information), and how the site may be useful for various people (so you can see what we can do to publicise your Data Management event).
It is fairly basic right now, but as things get added they will get mentioned in the 'What's new' section. If there is something you would like to see covered, please email the VP Online Services.
