Overhauling an Extension Publications Website: You Mean We Want People to Find and Use our Pubs?

These days, we're all being asked to do more with fewer resources and people. In 2010, the Office of Communications and the Office of Information Technology collaborated to redesign, relaunch, and move UGA's CAES Extension publications website to a database-driven, more user-friendly interface. This session will cover:

1. How, through the new publications website, we're using technology to meet -- and help our shrinking county agent population meet -- the public's ever-growing demand for information.

2. The logistics of our move from a handful of static HTML pages to a dynamic Cold Fusion-driven site, including lessons we learned about what worked well (hey, a search that works!) and what didn't (there are HOW many broken links?).

3. How to effectively collaborate with colleagues who speak different work languages to create a successful product.

About the Extension Foundation

The Extension Foundation was formed in 2006 by Extension Directors and Administrators. Today, the Foundation partners with Cooperative Extension through liaison roles and a formal plan of work with the Extension Committee on Organization and Policy (ECOP) to increase system capacity while providing programmatic services, and helping Extension programs scale and investigate new methods and models for implementing programs. The Foundation provides professional development to Cooperative Extension professionals and offers exclusive services to its members. In 2020 and 2021, the Extension Foundation has awarded 85% of its direct funding back to the Cooperative Extension System, 100% of funds are used to support Cooperative Extension initiatives. 

This technology is supported in part by New Technologies for Ag Extension (funding opportunity no. USDA-NIFA-OP-010186), grant no. 2023-41595-41325 from the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture.
