Please take a moment to fill out our brief survey and share your thoughts on things like the update schedule and new features. We also value your input on last month's community meeting so that we can continue to refine them.

The survey also includes an opportunity to give Sites a new name! If interested in participating, suggest a new name for the "Sites" system/platform. The winner of the naming contest will receive a small prize from the OIA Digital Team, which will be announced after a winner has been selected.

The survey should take about 2-3 minutes to complete and will be available now through July 31, 2020.

Dear Sites@UMBC Community,

Thank you for joining today's meeting. 

We hope that you feel that it was worth your time and that you learned something. As mentioned on the call, we will be following up in the next couple of weeks to ask for your input and feedback on our Fall 2020 release, and to nominate a new name for our product. We will also be announcing training sessions soon for later this summer.

If you have any questions or comments in the meantime, please join us by posting in the Sites@UMBC myUMBC group.

Thanks again,

Bryan, Roland, Billy & Collier

Hello Sites Users,

As a reminder, please take a moment to fill out our Sites usability survey. The survey should take about five minutes to complete and will be available until October 31.

If you have already participated in the survey, we thank you for your feedback. 

Note: Even if you do not use the Sites platform in your day-to-day work at UMBC, we would still like to hear from you! Your response will help us to better support our users.

Thank you!

Hello Sites Users,

We are in the process of planning Sites updates and future training workshops and would love to hear from you!

To help us better understand our Sites users and their needs, please take a moment to fill out our brief survey on the current Sites platform. Your feedback will be invaluable in guiding us as we update the platform and adapt our trainings to help you accomplish your Sites goals. The survey should take about five minutes to complete and will be available until October 31.

We are thrilled to see the overwhelming interest by the UMBC community in receiving Sites training. At this point, all upcoming workshops are currently full. In lieu of a wait list, we recommend you check our myUMBC group frequently ahead of the workshops, in the event openings become available. If you have a specific issue with Sites, you can make a comment here or email Roland King, rking@umbc.edu or Bryan Barnes, jbryan@umbc.edu.

We plan to add many more trainings in the future and will be updating our Sites guides and FAQs following survey feedback.

Thank you!
