| 10:04 | User Testing - Questions | Cynthia et al | - Support broader concepts/functionality to rank as people have trouble coming up with answers to open ended questions
- Research Question: What are the top areas of the website that users use or need?
- We could use this information specifically for what we include on the homepage.
- Question: "Please rank five services that are important to you in the library website..." - see comment on User Testing
- What are those five things that we are going to
- Homework assignment: Each person come up with 10 things and send to Cynthia by Monday at 10:00AM in an email to Cynthia
- Question: Self-identify user group (Faculty, library staff, university staff, student, community, non-temple academic researcher)
- Question: If the library website could focus on one goal or task, what would you want it to be?
- Question: Any other thoughts or feedback about the library website?

| 10:47 | Blacklight Update | Emily et al | - Two week sprints for development
- We've gone through three sprint cycles and this week started the fourth
- Focused on basic foundational pieces for record displays and search (basic and advanced)
- Exporting records from Alma and publishing in BL - new routines, etc.
- Link to current prototype - http://libqa.library.temple.edu/catalog
- Connect via ethernet on campus or VPN
- *Site will be slow because of development environment
- Highlights:
- Availability components - creating a proof of concept - most replicates what we've set up in Primo
- All of the configuration that we've done in Alma will continue to be available in BL - i.e. requesting and availability
- Setting up basic integrations between Blacklight and Alma for publishing
- Any initial impressions or feedback with what is available now
- Feedback from RIS librarians - distinction between resource types (i.e. physical vs. electronic, ebooks, vs. book reviews, etc)
- Therefore we should be careful with the wording
- **could be a good quesiton for users: terminology in facets and search results**
- We could also take subject areas and create facets based on those
- Provide feedback to Emily
- We will eventually pull individual people into the sprint cycles for upcoming sprints
- Have we abandoned the bento box?? No! - the current sprint is the bento box. Right now we've only bee thinking about the catalog, but we will be bringing in the other resources shortly.
