The Breadcrumbs Continue

Previously, our breadcrumbs skipped from the root site (“Bates”) directly to the current site (in this case “African American Studies”).

The shortcoming of this prior behavior is that parent sites weren’t included in our breadcrumb hierarchy. Since many sites have parent sites, from both institutional organization and user-experience perspectives, presenting a more complete picture of our site’s hierarchy should improve our overall user-experience.
