External-facing websites
UBC CMS
UBC content management system (CMS) is available to all faculty and staff within Arts and leverages the UBC Common Look and Feel (CLF).
Arts CMS
Arts content management system (CMS) is available to Arts departments, but requires support from Arts ISIT and Arts Service Centre – Communications to set up. All larger Arts units have now been migrated to Arts CMS, and there is currently a queue for creating new Arts CMS sites that is managed by Arts Service Centre – Communications.
Internal-facing websites
Arts Internal Resources
Arts Internal Resources (AIR) is a secure site available to all units within Arts to host internal-facing content and forms. Access can be restricted to specific individuals or roles and requires campus-wide login (CWL) for authentication. We recommend units use AIR as their central knowledge base.
