Business Arising
#5 - the subgroup has met several times.
On the E-Journal Titles page - Bill will fix the broken TRELLIS link. Bill will also look at the shading on the E-journals by subject page. On the subject listing page, Bill will mock up some different pages, such as a two-column display. Bill has already added the link back to the Research Databases page from the E-Journal Titles page on the test site. Bill has added instruction to the "No hits found" page that is produced on the E-Journal Titles page, but Bill will change the text from "Adjust your search term" to "Adjusting your search below". Bill will also change "You May:" to "You can try:". E-Thesis search page needs a new adjust your search page, Online Reference Shelf also needs a new adjust your search page. On Research Databases page, first bullet should read: If you have a complete journal article citation, search TRELLIS by journal title.
ACTION: Bill will work on these pages. These changes will be implemented.
Remove the item regarding entering the CCAE web contest from the Proposed Changes page, to a separate page on LibWebReview web site with the timeline indicated.
The group will work on various aspects of terminology and link placement. The items on the Proposed Changes page will be removed but considered at future meetings.
ACTION: Christy will edit the proposed changes list.
Esther has asked Charles to build a test site. She mentioned that this would be a good place for us to begin redeveloping and adding value to the site.
The group discussed the top image banner and recommended that we should be changing the top banners at least once a year. Rachel and Chris Hughes from Graphics have new photos that we may be able to use. This will be an agenda item for the next meeting.
ACTION: Christy will add this to the proposed changes list.
The group discussed the idea of added RSS to the Current News area on the web. Chris Gray has suggested that using a blog may be the ideal tool for this area of the web site.
ACTION: Christy will add this to the proposed changes list.
The group discussed the colour of the RSS button on the News at Your Library. It was decided that the RSS button would be changed to orange and white. The RSS button currently leads to a feed that contains a style sheet.
ACTION: Esther will create the new button.
Future Projects
Marina suggested that we will think about future projects and discuss Library 2.0 issues on our test wiki.
Around the Table
Marian suggested that at future meetings it would be good if we could bring a laptop with Dreamweaver so that Bill can make immediate changes that we can see as we are discussing.
ACTION: Bill will come with a laptop to the next meeting with Dreamweaver loaded.
