Overview
The UCSB English Department created its Web site to enable
interaction with its various communities of faculty, students,
alumni, staff,and others, and to facilitate a timely and collaborative
method of site maintenance. Much of the standard or routinely
changing information on the site (e.g., course descriptions,
faculty biographies, dept. news) is held in a database. The
database is "live" on the Web, meaning both that
the latest information is displayed dynamically and that the
staff and faculty maintain the database interactively through
Web forms without needing to know HTML. The site as a whole
is maintained with the aid of Web-authoring programs that
assist in managing total-site revisions. The English Department
site runs on a server owned by the department.
