Bates Views program

Established September 2008

Bates Views started out as a prototype at Wordpress.com.  Views demonstrates how existing content — from official Bates sources, from the mainstream media, and from student Web sites — can be pulled together, vetted, categorized and tagged, and made available for subscription in many different ways.

All of the excerpts point to original content, helping to surface interesting stories, images, audio, and video which is buried. Bates Views is about findability.

We integrated the Views 2 project — content by and about Bates, created by faculty, staff, and students — into Home 4 in May, 2009, and they launched together in September.
