AIS Web Site Post-Launch Announcement

Posted: Wednesday, April 29, 2009

Administrative Information Services (AIS), a unit of Information Technology Services (ITS), is pleased to announce that its redesigned Web site, located at http://ais.its.psu.edu, was launched on Monday, April 27, 2009.

The content that users depend upon--information about AIS Services, support and training (now in a centralized location), and departmental information--remains on the site; however, the new site has a new modern look and many new features.

Improved information architecture, including a logical categorization of AIS Services, consistent content labels from service page to service page, and a site-wide drop-down navigation bar will make it easier for new and experienced users to find specific information, browse multiple services, or become acquainted with new services. The redesigned site also features a service-specific news module on each service page and a robust sidebar on the right side of every page, which provides important news, alerts, and events related to AIS, ITS, and the University as a whole.

Finally, the homepage features an accordion-style widget for easy navigation and a rotating Feature Spotlight, which will highlight important services, news, and events.

Due to restructuring of the site, some pages have moved to a new location within the site. All current Web addresses and bookmarks will automatically redirect to those new pages for six months. After that time, some of the pages will no longer redirect, so it is necessary to change all bookmarked pages.

If you experience any problems with the new site, find pages that are not redirecting properly, or want to provide feedback about the new site, we invite you to let us know by contacting us at ais-webmaster@psu.edu. We want the site to be valuable to all users, so we welcome your comments.
