Introduction:
The graduate bulletin hosts the graduate studies catalog of courses, department information, and graduate study policy information within a web interface. Textual data for the site is stored within a mediawiki instance, course data is stored in a relational database. Policy information is updated by graduate studies employees through the mediawiki edit interfaces. Course data is updated by the publications editor through a web interface. Minor maintenance tasks are handled by a web developer with direct access to the database.
