Gabe surveyed library person pages [Doc]

  • The most common thing embedded were libguides. Blog content was far less common

  • This is probably because Springshare makes this so easy

  • Seperate section for springshare profiles and embeds

  • Separate section for staff directory lists that separate public facing and back end staff

What about people with tons of libguides (too many to display)? What are solutions? Ideas:

  • Just the ‘top four’

  • The top four most viewed

What about people with tons of blog posts? What are solutions? Ideas:

  • The natural solution is to list them chronologically. The most recent five should suffice

Will blog posts and research guides be presented in one feed or in separate sections?

  • Related: is an amalgamated feed even possible?

  • Related: is it worth it to include blogs?

Decision: Cynthia will send a survey to librarians about person pages.

How will the button color change when we go into the responsive design?

Decision:

  • Main desktop view buttons: will be different colors

  • Responsive or mobile view: they’ll all be one color (all the CTAs, etc.)

Library hours- Decision:

  • They’ll be left as is in terms of the text wrapping

  • Chris will experiment with ways to highlight the current days’ hours

Open Question:

In the feed we need

  • Subject areas

  • Libguides

… but do we need blog posts and events?
