I am going to recommend that, in our hypothetical U O'Swamp web site, the Math Department should consider where to include the following basic departmental information:

• For our on-campus audience...
• Campus telephone number,
• Campus FAX number,
• Campus mail address,
• Campus location,
• Office hours,
• And what else?


• For our off-campus audience...
• Official mailing address,
• Complete telephone number (including area code),
• Complete FAX number (including area code),
• And what else?

On some campuses, the local-campus and formal-complete forms of the above information are basically identical, and can sensibly be placed all together on the same page. On others, however, they are quite different, and there you may want to provide one form immediately plus an obvious link to the other.

We should also consider where to include an assortment of other information about activities in the department, how to organize it, and how much breadth and depth of information to include on various topics, such as:

• Descriptive Information, Mission Statement, etc.
• Department Members
• Department Head, Associate & Assistant Heads
• Regular & Visiting Faculty Members
• Administrative & Support Staff
• Graduate & Undergraduate Students
• Undergraduate & Graduate Program Descriptions, plus
• Course Descriptions
• with typical course schedules
• Degree Requirements
• Important Procedures & Policies
• Major Research Areas, plus
• Special Research Programs, Centers, or Institutes
• Seminars and Colloquia
• Special Events
• Resources Available, such as
• Computing Facilities
• Special Reseearch & Library Facilities
• Special Study & Support Centers
• Appropriate External Links
• Elsewhere within the same university
• Outside the university, but related to the field
• Other useful or interesting links
• What else?
