  1. Minutes of Meeting, September 13, 2006
    Accepted as published.

  2. Business Arising
    Item 4:     Re MSN status indicator: Marina noted that it does not work; this issue might have to be passed on to the Systems.

    Re Banner images: Rachel reported that she received a green light from Mary Stanley and will present the  new suggestions to the administration for approval.

    Re D-Space (UW-Space): Marina confirmed that she spoke to Bill Oldfield and he will provide more information at the end of September or later, as  schedule permits.

    Re Suggested joint ISR meeting agenda point to highlight the e-theses submission information: Helena commented that since Christine Jewell already provided this information at the last ISR Porter meeting, Jennifer Haas might want to request the same for ISR Davis. Action: Helena will contact Shabiran.

  3. Agenda Review
    Additions: no. 6. Login to the Library, no. 7. Brown Bag website
    Renumber: no. 8. Library Web Review (cont.),
    no. 9. Around the Table

  4. Floorplans
    Marian mentioned that the deadline for staff
    suggestions and comments to the Committee is
    October 14, 2006. These will be then integrated into
    the plans.

  5. Tour of the WLU Library Homepage
    Dan published a report on the LibWebReview 
    website and suggested that those who also attended
    the session at Laurier might want to add  their     
    comments. Dan's report focused on methodology.
    Question: What do we like/dislike about the                  
    WLU website?

  6. Login into the Library
    UW Library users seem to be confused about My
    Account (TRELLIS login) in the right nav bar and Connect from Home login in the left nav bar. WLU solved this on its site by providing two separate links appearing together in the same location: Your Account and Off-Campus Login. It was suggested that we try to provide the information in the right nav bar. Action: Esther will mock up the new design and present to the group for discussion.

  7. Brown Bag Website
    UW Library staff members need a repository for noon
    hour conference presentations. Question: where should this information be linked on the staff web? One idea was the D-Space (UW-Space) but we are not there yet. The group preferred the location in the left navigation bar, under the link News. Suggested new link: Staff Presentations. Action: Esther will talk to Jennifer Haas about this.

  8. Library Web Review (continued)
    The group worked through the To Do list. Points were
    edited, updated and annotated as appropriate. Charles Woods or Chris Gray might be able to check the error log (what does this mean?)

  9. Around the Table
    No time left. Meeting adjourned.
