Web Publishing @ Columbia

As a member of the Columbia community, you have access to the Internet and can publish on the World Wide Web, and we hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity. Regardless of what you publish—a personal Web site, a site for a course you're teaching, or a site for your department—please remember that you are responsible for what you publish on the Web. Please read and understand the Columbia copyright policy before you begin.

Personal Web Sites. You can create your own personal Web pages. The files will be stored in the space on your CUNIX account. In order to do this, you need to be familiar with the basics of UNIX and HTML (the language used to create Web pages), or use a special program designed to create Web pages (e.g. Dreamweaver).

Course Web Sites. If you want to create a Web site for a course you're teaching, you can do it yourself, or you may take advantage of the services offered by the Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning. If you're going to create the site yourself, please see FAQ 447 to learn how to request space.

Departmental/Organizational Web Sites. If you want to create a Web site for your department or organization, you can do it yourself, or you may take advantage of the services offered by the CUIT Interactive Services team. This is a professional group offering competitive fee-based Web site design, development, and maintenance services to the entire University. If you're going to create a site for your department or organization yourself, please see FAQ 447 to learn how to request space.
