Practice a few of these tasks if you are a member volunteer who will be a site admin for a Round Table site or a staff member who has responsibilities for a division site or a portion of ala.org. As you complete the tasks below, remember to add metadata.
-
Add a new Feature Slide on the "Feature Slide Sandbox" page.

Add at least one Front Page Tab on that page. You will need a Twitter hashtag, RSS feed or a combination of ALA taxonomy tags to use.

Create an Online Learning page. NOTE: Do NOT add the taxonomy terms, as doing so would cause your test page to pull to ala.org/onlinelearning. Instead, add a few taxonomies and the terms so that your page would display by topic and on the right unit display in ala.org/onlinelearning. Add any feedback, questions about your experience to your Online Learning page.

Add your profile, committee and/or online learning pages in the Sandbox menu. Make the title for the menu item [Your Initials] Menu Test, and for the committee page [Your Initials] Committee Test.
