Statement of Purpose

The home page of the University of Toronto Department of French is offered as a quality home page that reflects the people, work, and life of the Department.

The Department views the WWW, and its home page, as a medium of publication no less meaningful to the academic enterprise than print, lectures, and other traditional forms of academic publication.

In keeping with this view, our home page will make available to anyone on the Internet: information, research, learning tools from and by our Department.

The page will be bilingual, where possible.

Proposed Audience

There are three general audience groups:

  1. Scholars of French literature and linguistics, including member of the University of Toronto Department of French. Our primary audience, in view of shared disciplinary and research interests;
  2. (A superset of Group 1): The academic community at large, including scholars of literature and linguistics in general. This group is motivated to visit our site for general research and information;
  3. (A superset of Groups 1 and 2): The public at large, Net- and Websurfers who visit and stay at our site because it offers appealing design features, and material of inherent interest.
Statement of Objectives

In order to achieve the purpose of this WWW project, we hope to accomplish the following:

  • identify, gather and provide the information we wish to offer to our audience (as described above);
  • maintain a coherent organisation of the site;
  • segregate the information in accordance with this organization;
  • maintain a coherent design for the site;
  • format the information in accordance with the organization and design;
  • monitor the site to ensure there are no bugs, dead ends, or major inconsistencies.
