Useful Purdue links

xkcd comic #773: University Website. Venn Diagram with two circles. Things on the front page of a university website: campus photo slideshow, alumni in the news, promotions for campus events, press releases, statement of the school's philosophy, letter from the president, virtual tour Things people go to the site looking for: list of faculty phone numbers and emails, campus address, application forms, academic calendar, campus police phone number, department/course lists, parking information, usable campus map The only overlap is 'full name of school.' People go to the website because they can't wait for the next alumni magazine, right? What do you mean, you want a campus map? One of our students made one as a CS class project back in '01! You can click to zoom and everything!
