The University's Web Authors' Group was launched in May 1999 with a half-day
event at Wivenhoe House Hotel and Conference Centre. Several similar meetings
have taken place since then.
WAG provides:
- support and guidance for, and representation of, the interests of University web authors

for web pages at the University
