Purpose

The subject area

• ICS information modules, degrees programmes, research, contact details
• Contact students, staff, administration
• Timely information: calendars, news reports

The subject area can be, therefore, said to be "the activities, resources and administration of the Department of Informatics, University of Lund, Sweden".

The audience

The target audience for this web can be defined as "current and potential members of the Department of Informatics, as well as friends trying to get in touch".

The level of detail

The web must contain complete and detailed information topics specific to the department. Job information and news etc., may be more informal.

Users expected benefit

• Current members will be able to communicate with each other and be kept informed of events/developments, as well as find out any ICS-specific information.
• Friends of current members will be presented with the contact details of whom they are searching for.
• Potential members will be able to develop an accurate impression of the department.

The purpose statement

Taking the all of the above into account, I have formulated the purpose statement as follows;

"The ICS web intends to allow members of the Department of Informatics, University of Lund, Sweden to communicate with each other and be reached by non-members. It will also hold useful information about the department concerning degrees, modules, research and general administration, as well as general facilities which will be of use to current members who use it on a regular basis. It is aimed at current members, potential members seeking information and friends of current members who are trying to get in touch."
