We develop and maintain a number of web-based applications that are simple to use and greatly improve the user experience of your site.
UNL Chat
The UNL Chat system allows site managers to chat actively with visitors to a UNL-templated web page at no charge to either party. Some of the features of the UNL Chat system include: answering questions of site visitors, tracking conversation with site visitors and intelligently routing visitors to the correct party or content they seek.
Events Calendar
The University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) utilizes one central calendar system to organize and display campus events online. Events in the calendar system can easily be included on department websites and landing pages. These events also feed into Nebraska Today to maximize the audience reach of potential event attendees.
Maps
UNL maps (online and print) are maintained and updated annually by several key departments at UNL. Orders for the printed maps can be made on-demand through Print Services.
MediaHub
MediaHub is a UNL-developed audio and video publishing system that allows users to upload, caption, and presentation audio and video media on their UNL websites. Unlike YouTube and other third-party video sources, MediaHub audio and video is available wherever UNL websites are available. In MediaHub you can create a channel to organize your content and use provided embed codes to quickly display your media on your webpages. MediaHub supports video resolutions up to 4k and vertical as well as traditional horizontal formats.
Video Captioning
We have built a feature into MediaHub that enables you to add captions to your videos via cost object number. The videos are captioned by an actual human, which is most effective. Videos are captioned at a cost of $1.50 per minute.
Digital Photo Archive
The online UNL Digital Photo Archive includes photos that have been taken by University Communication since 2003. These photos are available for campus communicators and departments to review and purchase for web, print and other purposes. The photos are organized by date and tagged in specific categories, making it easy to sort and find photos that make sense for your desired need.
"Go" URL Shortener
You can use the Go URL shortening service to shorten URLs while retaining the unl.edu domain. Go URL can also be used to set up vanity URLs for marketing and communication materials. You have the option to add Google analytics codes to track each link’s individual success.
Email Signature Generator
The online email signature generator makes it easy for any faculty or staff member to create a professional, Nebraska-branded email signature.
Lockup Factory
A lockup — the "Nebraska N" icon aligned with text naming a university department or unit in one scalable image — locks in the text in the correct position and size next to the "N" in order to keep design consistent across the university for our audiences. These lockups serve as visual marks to represent campus units and can be generated for review and approval through the online lockup factory.
