4.      WebOps StaffWeb pages

All files will be available to the public unless discretion is required. Esther will convert the current pages to the new format.

5.      Requests for Stats

Mary Stanley has requested statistics on use of the Library home page. It was noted that a process was in place for longer term analysis of statistical needs and has included a survey of users requirements and opinions. There is an immediate problem providing interim counts because of the size of the log files involved. A program, Faststats, has been ordered that can work with larger files. The need to filter out the large volume of public-station proxy log entries was expressed.
