5) Design of Location Maps

Both Esther's and Bill's mockups were shown. Bill mentioned that Dan had asked for a row of tabs with Library locations (e.g., Porter, Davis, Optometry) be located above the floor tabs.

There was discussion whether the default should be to a call number search or the map. No consensus was achieved.

A sub-group consisting of Bill, Dan, Marian, and Esther will continue the work on these maps and report on their progress at our next meeting. Action: Sub-group.

Helena and Marian distributed two sheets with their suggested user-friendly terms for call number items. They will continue to work on this, adding other items such as washrooms and photocopiers. Action: Bill will send Marian the URL for a list he has.

Marina opened discussion by expressing her interest in having the group start thinking about the kinds of services that we should be looking at. What would we like to add or change to our website and services? Much discussion ensued.
