Guest Speaker: Janet Wason
a. Janet provided suggested changes from the OPD for our survey coverletter. Suggestions were approved by CNAC. Michele will rewrite the coverletter and resend to CNAC.
b. OPD suggested several changes to/additions of questions for the survey. CNAC reviewed each suggestion and Janet will report back to OPD with our decisions. It was suggested that some of the data that OPD wanted to collect would be better gathered from a focus group after the survey is completed.
c. Shabiran will work on the wording of the introductory paragraph for the survey. She will use the User Services Survey as a possible example.

4. Evaluation of Scholar’s Portal
Shabiran informed CNAC of an ongoing OCUL project to conduct a user survey of Scholar’s Portal. CNAC has no role in this survey at this time, but is aware that a role may come up at a later stage.

5. Terms of Reference
Item deferred until the next CNAC meeting. CNAC members are asked to review the two versions of our terms of reference available on our CNAC webpage and to come to the meeting with suggestions of possible changes.
