    Esther demonstrated what the library website would look like under the proposed template.  There were concerns with the assigned colours discussed.  The new search interface was discussed.  There are a lot of exceptions on the library website so a modified CSS would not affect all the pages (for example, connect from home & UW Space).

    ACTION: Annie and Esther will bring to the attention of the Web Redesign Manager.

    ACTION:     Annie will forward a proposal to LibExec and the Library Managers group regarding phased protocol implementation.
