Web addresses for Extension offices changing statewideKansas K-State Research and Extension, which operates offices in every Kansas county, will implement new website addresses on March 1. University officials said the new addresses, or URLs, for each county, district or area office will more closely reflect the local office's connection with Kansas State University. For counties, the new Web addresses will read, "www.countyname.ksu.edu." As an example, the new Web address for Harper County will be www.harper.ksu.edu. For district offices, the new Web addresses will read, "www.districtname.ksu.edu," or as an example, www.centralkansas.ksu.edu. K-State Research and Extension area offices across the state also will change to reflect the region in Kansas each office serves, such as www.northeast.ksu.edu. Area offices are located in the northeast, southeast, northwest, and southwest parts of Kansas. All previous Web addresses for local offices will continue to work after March 1, though these will no longer be promoted by the organization. The change is based on feedback over many months, and supported by surveys with more than 320 Kansas citizens and 176 K-State employees in fall, 2007. The change does not affect e-mail addresses for K-State Research and Extension employees. K-State's research last fall indicated that nearly 70 percent of Kansas citizens use the Internet to access information on a weekly or daily basis. The numbers for Kansas are consistent with national estimates. 2/25/08 Date: 2/21/08 Advertisement
