Updates to our area

As part of our continuing process of improving our area on info island international we’ve been adding some things and changing others, some of these may be obvious but others may not:

1) We’ve added a ground level sitting area for people who stop by. While we do have the deck it’s not heavily used. This addition has the advantage of at least pulling conversations off to one side of the welcome area.

2) The walls and desk are being adjusted to give a more open feel to the area and to visually direct visitors to local resources.

3) Our new shift schedule board is in the process of being automated so it will be able to read directly from the google calendar.

4) A new intersim teleporter pad has been added to provide a direct portal to the five core sims in the Archipelago. It’s a flexible device so it will be able to have destinations added for special events as they happen.

5) The plot description for the desk has been updated to provide the search engine with more hooks and to make it easier for patrons to find us.

Whew, that’s all for now. I’ll keep you all updated as things evolve.

Schedule board

As we discussed at the last reference meeting we’ve added a schedule board to the reference desk on Info Island International. The board is a web enabled gadget that allows me to change the messages remotely. Each day it will list that day’s hours of coverage. It will not be listing either days in the future or who is on each shift. However, if you click the schedule board it will link directly to the google calendar. Hope this helps and meets with everyone’s needs. -Hypatia
