I am requesting that the “Library Location” filter be moved to the top (above Subject Areas) of the Emory Subject Librarians directory/Drupal view

Requesting that the name change from “Library Location” to “Sort by Library or Service”

Requesting that the existing drop-down options for the “Sort by Library or Service” be renamed and expanded

  • Woodruff Library (Main)
  • Goizueta Business Library
  • Woodruff Health Science Center Library
  • Oxford College Library
  • Rose Library
  • Scholarly Communications Services
  • Research Data Services

Note: The reason for this drop-down request is that there are several subject librarians not sortable/filterable in the current set-up

Finally, I am requesting (if possible) that each of the filter options for the “Sort by Library or Service” section have their own URL

Describe alternatives you've considered

  1. We had considered a landing page idea like we did for Research Guides, https://guides.libraries.emory.edu/?group_id=20355
  2. We had considered an additional page for Woodruff Subject Librarians (instead of a dedicated URL filter suggested above). We feel sending users to ONE page is better than creating a separate page

How will this impact users?
Moving and renaming the sort function option will decrease confusion for users, e.g. sort by subject area “Classics” – who should you contact?

@lovinscari @cwbragg is this an official request?

maxdmayhew commented

This ticket has overlap with the other departmental staff directory issues.

This has been vetted by the Web Content committee.

cwbragg commented

I have two additions from the web committee, after moving the “Library Location” filter to the top:

Change "Library Location" field title to "Your Library Location"
Change "Subject Areas" field title to "Subject Areas and Specializations"

PRs #859 and #864 address moving the location filter and re-labeling.

cwbragg commented

It would be worth estimating this part of the request:

"...I am requesting (if possible) that each of the filter options for the “Sort by Library or Service” section have their own URL"

We may want to make that a new ticket?

maybe split this into 2 parts as far as development:

  1. add the taxonomy
  2. build out the views

need to know what the departments are, and then the person content nodes would have to be backfilled with the information individually

cwbragg commented

The workflow:

  1. Confirm taxonomy options (departments and libraries) with czars.
  2. Web team builds taxonomy.
  3. Czars add taxonomy to individual person pages.
  4. Web team builds views for the separate dept. and libraries.

Note: There is concern about creating multiple directories. more web governance discussion required.
