Redevelopment of the University Web site - On-line survey, from Ruth Whitfield, LSS

The University's Web site is being redeveloped to have two "home" pages; one for external use and one for internal use. This allows the "external" face of the Web site to be developed with much more emphasis on prospective students and business services, thus enabling the "internal" face of the Web site to be more closely tailored to the needs of current staff and students.There will, of course, be links between the two.

To ensure that the internal site meets your needs, please complete the online survey found on the Web at www.brad.ac.uk/web2000/testpilot/home.tp3?USER_ID=demo
