Section 5.5.2 Guidelines for MurdochNet Navigation
End-users of MurdochNet should be able to navigate to the
Content they require in an easy-to-use manner. The useability of MurdochNet may be diminished if navigation
features are implemented inconsistently.
Given that the University’s Internet presence is made up of
numerous individual Web Sites across many Servers, navigation features should
use cues in a consistent way across all Web Sites, thereby contributing to the
identity and coherence of the overall University presence. Navigation methods
should be tested across a range of acceptable Web browsers and alternative
methods used to display Content (eg. for menus) be used.
Labels for navigation links should use terminology that is
easily recognised and these labels should then be used across all sites, eg. | Murdoch
| Home | Index | Search |.
Navigation links such as | Index | and | Search
| should be provided on all pages. A | Sitemap | navigation link is
recommended for individual Web Sites.
The presentation of navigation links shall comply with the
appropriate elements of the Corporate Style Guidelines for MurdochNet, such as the use of colour.
The MurdochNet Management Committee shall assign
responsibility for the tasks of:
- reviewing
the current use of navigation features on Murdoch Web sites
- recommending
revisions to the use of navigation features
- preparing
a set of Guidelines for MurdochNet Navigation.
The Chair of the MurdochNet Management Committee shall be
responsible for approving the Guidelines for MurdochNet Navigation.
