I'm with those giving you the choice based on the cost to moderate. Having this happen once a year would be very different than happening once a month. The ability to have a working group is more important than allowing anyone to sign up.

- Since you are in the CMS group, I was hoping you could advise me. UB is setting up a university-wide content management system and we are exploring what best practices other universities are doing. In particular, we are trying to identify universities that are:
* Using a CMS enterprise wide, or with several departments
* Have governance or policies in place
* Have a form of centralized staffing
* And hopefully are encouraging best practices in content and user experience.
If you can take the brief survey at https://vovici.com/wsb.dll/s/8727g3fd23 (no longer than 2-5 minutes) it would help us gather preliminary information that will assist us in our initial phase of research. If you know of someone in your organization better suited to fill this out, please feel free to pass this along.
We are looking for initial responses by Thursday, October 15th.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or my assistant Kyriakos Zannikos (716-645-4652 or zannikos@buffalo.edu)
Thanks in advance,

Employment Opportunities is one of the 12 main navigation links in the header of our Web site template. Therefore, it appears not only on the home page, but on almost every page of our site.
I just opened my account jfduguid (at) googlewave
Off topic, but the hide/show social media icon bar on your site is very well done.
Global footer that says "We're Hiring". It is one of our top visited pages.
Thanks for the feedback - the backstory here is that our HR office has requested to be on the homepage, but the college's Web Advisory committee has been refusing the request. I thought a link in the global footer would be a nice solution, so I'm ...
"Employment at SJC" is a link in our footer that is on every page, including the homepage. We also have a prominent link in the navigation one level down under our "About Us" section.
It's one of our top hits also.
Share your experiences using OmniUpdate CMS
We have an Employment link in the footer of every page, including our home page.
OmniUpdate’s CMS business is booming and we are looking for several Web Services Technicians. Help us grow our team.
Yes, we list it on the homepage. Our HR person requested this as part of our redesign about a year ago and I thought it made sense.
We have a "Jobs" link in our global footer.
We do have a link at the bottom of the home page in the footer. We have gone one step further however, because the footer is a common include used across everyone of our pages that is in our new template. We have about 75% of our pages using it. I...
hello uwebd!
we're hiring a developer here @ Rensselaer's Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center in Troy, NY. www.empac.rpi.edu. We started this search last year but then went into a hiring freeze, and now have a window where we're quickly tr...
I can tell you how we do it-
I work in marketing on the web team. We control the front page. I'm the content person, so I make a lot of those judgment calls.
For our specific design (www.oc.edu), there are a few guiding principles.
For the top ...

What is the editorial process for your university homepage? Specifically, I'm curious about:
- what type of content gets featured (news, events, blogs, social media, contests, etc.)
- number of people making decisions about what content gets feat...
It is a link on our homepage and is one of our top hits as well.
We don't, but it is one of the first menu items from the top drop down menu. I would say it is worth it, especially if you are a large school. We're a small school (for example at this time we have 5 only openings on campus), but that page is one ...
