1. Approval of Minutes of the February 6th Meeting

The minutes of the last meeting were approved with changes.

2. Business Arising

a. Project Web Form: the changes made to the Assessment Project Web Form were approved.

b. NVIVO Software: the CNAC group members will review the demonstration package available from the website http://www.qsr.com.au/products/nvivo.html for the next meeting.

3. Review of CNAC WebPages

Committee members came to the meeting with suggestions on ways to create a more consistent look and feel for the CNAC WebPages. Suggestions were as follows:

Add the title “Community Needs Assessment Committee” to the top of any pages missing it (for example: the Suggested Readings and Project Web Form pages)
Change the footer on all pages from “CNAPG” to “CNAC” and make the letters into an email link to libneeds@library.uwaterloo.ca
Make a link to the CNAC Homepage from every page within the web space
Organize the Suggested Readings page into categories. Shabiran will design a set of groupings and send them to Alexandra
Re-order the links to each minutes page (within a given year) so that the latest minutes are at the top

Alexandra will make these changes to the WebPages, and will ask the committee’s approval at their next meeting.

4. Preparation for meeting with ISMC

Wish and Anne presented summaries of their experiences with the Online Lyceum on Assessing Library Service Quality. As the course curriculum requires approximately 7 hours of work/study time per week, enrolled staff may ask their manager/supervisor for a blocked-off period of time (~1/2 day per week) to do their work uninterrupted.

5. New Business

a. Alexandra has enrolled in the “Design and Layout of UW Gold Standard Web Pages with Top Dropdown Menus” IST course offered this April.

b. A new item will be added to the CNAC Suggested Readings List: Spec Kit 268: Reference Statistics and Assessment Sept 2002. Call number: Z675.U515x 268 2002 Porter Controlled Access.

Next Meeting: Thursday, March 6, 2003 in DP 512A
