In order to create a more user friendly interface, the London Stage Database team is restructuring the content and pages on the website. Information from the old “About” and “User Guide” pages has been reorganized into shorter, more easily digested subpages, and dropdown menus make it easier for users to navigate to the information they need. Special thanks go out to Michele Pflug, Emma Kaisner, Erin Winter, Franny Gaede, and John Zhao, as well as our Advisory Board for their input as the team worked on these changes.
Read on to learn about the major changes to look out for on the website!
Highlights of the content reorganization:
- The User Guide now contains an About the Data page for users to learn about working with LSDB data and its limitations.
- The section of the User Guide formerly known as “Key Terms” is now a separate Glossary page, with important historical and theatrical terms categorized into subsections.
- A timeline of the London Stage Database project and its predecessor, the London Stage Information Bank, can be found on the new History page, which can be reached from the About tab.
- Also under About, there is a new Media Coverage section for those interested in recent publications that reference the database.
- A News page features an RSS feed that pulls from this blog, making it easy to stay up-to-date on the latest from our team.
- Both the About and User Guide pages include links to archived copies of the pages as they appeared up to now.
