Rutgers University Libraries website will be getting a slight facelift in order to feature more of our news stories and to accommodate our new events calendar. News and Events will now appear in separate sections and will contain more visual content.
The News Section
The News section will now feature a rotating gallery that displays four thumbnail images, each with a headline. Users can scroll to read additional stories or click on the thumbnails/headlines to read more. There will also be a jump button to the archives for news stories.
To submit news, please contact Jessica Pellien.
The Events Section
A rotating carousel of featured events will run in the Events section with a link to enter the calendar page. The content for this section will be selected from the events submitted by event organizers. There will also be a link to the complete events calendar which can be sorted or filtered by location, date, type of event, etc. For more information on how the Calendar will work, please scroll down.
The Featured Collection Section
The appearance of this section will essentially remain the same. Please continue sending submissions for this to Mary Ann Koruth.
Events Calendar:
The newly developed Libraries events calendar will include events hosted and sponsored by the Libraries, as well as events sponsored by other organizations that are using our facilities and may be of interest to our users. You can preview the calendar here (please note that not all the features may be functional yet and that this link can only be viewed from within the Libraries).
Event organizers can submit their events via a simple web form that includes a short description, an image for the event, location, date, time, and contact. The events will not be “live” on our public events calendar until they have been moderated by the Communications Department. It is recommended that you upload your event as soon as you have the information for the listing—event title, description, date, time, location, image. The Communications Department can make changes to the events posting after it is published on the Libraries website. Additional documentation on adding an event will be available at the event submission website.
