qldwater Resource Library launched
Date: 29-Jun-2017
After many months of wrangling our content management system, the first iteration of our online Resource Library is now available to qldwater members on our website at http://www.qldwater.com.au/resource-library.
Most users who visit our site use the keyword search function to find materials. The library is an attempt to reorganise the way our materials are presented to make them easier to locate, but also to better show where gaps exist so that you can help by suggesting links or sharing your useful documents.
The library has been reviewed by some qldwater members and the feedback we receive will be incorporated over time. At the moment, the topic categories follow a “Water Cycle” theme and the “Whole of Business” category will required further refinement, and we need to load some more existing materials and cull others.
How to use the library
- Click on one of the category links, e.g. “Sewage Treatment”
- Enter your member userid and password. If you don’t have one, complete an online registration form. Only email addresses from current qldwater member organisations will be accepted.
- Once you are on the category page, you will see 4 tabs:
- qldwater Resources – or documents we have developed or commissioned relevant to the topic
- Other Resources – documents sourced from elsewhere (government agencies etc) which are useful. For example, DEWS has made available all of the original TMP guides and templates which are available under “Whole of Business.”
- Member sample documents – currently limited, if you have anything you are particularly proud of or think might be useful to other service providers, and are happy to share, please follow the instructions to make the documents available.
- Contracts and specifications – for the last 12 months or so we have been collecting relevant tender and other documents advertised on QTenders or LG Tender Box and will keep doing this. While these sites keep a record of the tender happening, it’s generally not possible to access the materials. Please note the disclaimer – the versions you are viewing may or may not be final as it is not possible to stay on top of all of the comments and amendments subsequent to the initial release.
Please use the feedback options/ forms on the site to let us know how you think the resource could be improved, or email dgralton@qldwater.com.au. While we acknowledge that it’s far from perfect at this stage, there has been a lot of enthusiasm for its release and we will work on improving over time.
