Lib,
I don't think you should leave the list over one person's comments if you
are benefiting from other people's feedback.
Libraries probably shouldn't fit under individual departments, but under the
organisation's umbrella - I am particularly thinking of university
libraries. If you are a speci

Don't go. I too was appalled by the tone of the responses, but didn't

Wow. Make a genuine enquiry, and get this. I see this list is living
up to its reputation for rudeness that I was warned about before I
joined.

I should also add, that the whole notion of "we're outside the CMS just

I agree with most of the comments in response to this query but
thought I would clarify one part of what Steve said, namely that:
"breadcrumbs ... represent the content pathway the user followed to
reach their current page".
I misread this sentence initially and so others may too. I thought

Lib,
Breadcrumbs fall into that category of IA component that hurts no-one, and
helps some people some of the time, which generally makes them worthwhile.
However, breadcrumbs should serve a specific purpose, that being: to
represent the content pathway the user followed to reach their current pag
Damn, this is refreshing to hear for a change! Enough said.
