Academic Webpage Support

Robin Witmore, Publications and Web Specialist, will alter faculty webpages upon request. This may involve anything from a simple update of information to scanning and uploading of graphics to a complete redesign of the page. A common request is to create web-accessible publicity photos and presentations materials for media and scientific use, in a variety of formats and resolutions appropriate to print and web applications. View samples on the webpages of Sandy Faber and Steve Vogt.

If have a new webpage, Robin will make a link from the UCO/Lick Individual Homepages webpage. Email your url to webeditor@ucolick.org.

Page Charge and Reprint Forms

Robin will process page charge and reprint forms for you. Bring forms to the Publications Office, ISB Room 155. She will need to know:

  • manuscript number
  • complete title
  • complete author list
  • journal
  • number of pages, color figures, etc.
  • whether you want reprints
  • what are the charge splits, if any?
  • funding information (which grant or PI?)

You may mail these to robin@ucolick.org or use the publications webform to submit all required information. Or you may forward your acceptance email from the Journal, along with your charge split, funding, and reprint information.

Robin will obtain a PO number and forward the page charge form to the publisher and any charge-splitting institutions. She will also insure that the publisher bills you correctly, and supplies the correct number of legibly printed reprints.
