Web Advisory Committee Minutes, September 27, 2005

Minutes-taker: Sarah Jones
Attending: Beckett, Suzanne; Irwin, Marie S; Jones, Sarah; King, Burton; Trkay, Gretchen; Walter, Catherine; Wellvang, James K
Absent: Spitzenberger, Cathleen; Stepanovich, Mitch

Agenda:

  1. Who should have responsibility/authority over taxonomy questions? (for example, a subject librarian suggests his/her subject be listed in a particular "broad" subject area in Resources by Subject) If someone wants to propose a change in how a subject is categorized in Resources by Subject, who do they contact to make this proposal? (JONES)
  2. ACTION:

    • We control the UTALO taxonomy, but it remains informed by the MetaLib taxonomy as well as usability considerations
    • We need to define and select resources for Resources for General Reference and "General/Multidisciplinary" resources
    • GIS in Resources by Subject -- add to Science & Mathematics and Public Affairs & Law. Leave in Social Sciences
    • In Resources for Subject, how about a broad category, like, "General"  "Langnappe" that contains Controversial Issues, GIS, Reference
  3. LIFT Text Transcoder for accessibility (see here and here) - Should we proceed with this? What questions/issues are there before we decide whether to proceed with taking the budget request to LMT? (IRWIN, JONES)

    ACTION:

    • Marie will ask LMT for money
    • DLS will put LIFT implementation into its calendar of tasks
  4. Other:
    • future usability testing topic: Locations & Hours -- findability of the branch home pages

Next Meeting: Tuesday, October 11, 2005, 1:30-3:00 pm
