Meeting Notes
Administrative perspective from SB
- Review process needs to be one that is not ambiguous for the review team
- Plan to share standards and review process with our colleagues along the way for feedback
- The review process should include
- "pre-authoring" request to determine need and author of a new guide
- a plan for doing a retrospective review of existing guides
- a provision for authoring a guide quickly (for a class, etc.)
- LGRP group has authority to
- create standards based on usability testing and other evidence-based standards such as those published by other institutions; providing a rationale for standards will be useful for our colleagues
- determine scope of LibGuides content (i.e. what belongs in LibGuides rather than other CMS); ET will investigate content scope for Drupal
Templates
- Discussion of usefulness of templates; RL has idea about how these would look
Next Steps
- Review standards from other institutions and best practices from usability testing
Next meeting
- Outline standards categories and divide between group members to write
Standing meeting
