I think that as long as Library is in Academics [from the main College homepage], it is fine to have LIS as the Quick Links.

For O&S IA: I agree with your suggestion, Ian, that Library under O&S Academics link may be more sensible (and in line with the link from the homepage), and that LIS under Technology is probably redundant if it’s in the QLs.

A good point. I would be in support of having the Library be the first section on the LIS landing page (since it receives over 50% of our site traffic). Remember also that the Library will be the third link on the Academics home page after Departments and Courses.

Perhaps a better Offices and Services list would have Library under academics (instead of LIS) and remove LIS from the list under Technology. Especially if LIS is going to be in the site footer.

This page is not a big deal to me. But “There will very likely also be a link to the LIS landing page in the Quick Links section of the footer, since Mike Roy wants there to be.” bears looking at, I think! I was hoping for direct linking to the library, as opposed to LIS. Quick linking only to LIS has implications for what should appear on the LIS landing page.
