Goals
Discuss how the integration of library search affect both the design of library search and the website
Contact us form - do we want to just have one form that goes through LibAnswers and then gets directed?
Space entity index page - do we need an index for spaces if people can look at the list of spaces on a building page?
Service entity page - are there elements that we need to discuss?
Meeting schedule for the spring semester - should we meet more frequently? once a week, even?
Discussion topics
Item | Notes |
---|---|
Library Search Integration | Look at MAN-33 Move the website to librarybeta.temple.edu what is happening to libqa?
Question: the Blacklight team is actively developing and breaking things.
Side Note: The BL team had already begun talking about wanting to make LibAnswers/LibChat more prominent on Library Search, so having that in the header across library search is a good thing. Other considerations:
|
Top Navigation | Needs to be the topic of a separate meeting - Looking at Jan 11, 2019 Questions to ponder:
|
Contact form | Three forms on the current website:
I need to follow up with Margery and Steven and figure out if we can route all traffic through LibAnswers and just have one form. |
Space Entity Index page | We don’t need this page. If someone wants to see a list of spaces, they can go to the relevant building. |
Footer | We need to have a dedicated core team meeting to discuss the quick links in the footer. I propose Jan 18, 2019 |
Meeting Schedule | We will continue to meet on Friday afternoons for the foreseeable future. |
Action items
Decisions
