Website, Errors and Questions

Please contact the Web Team for any needs: webmaster@uflib.ufl.edu. To request changes to the main site, please email Todd and the Web Team. Any changes to the main site are required to conform to the information architecture. Requests that would alter the information architecture will be routed to Joint Chairs for discussion (and ultimately the Deans for approval). For the process, LTS is responsible for providing information on type/degree of impact and suggested options.
