I-Share OPAC Team Minutes
April 17, 2007 Meeting (Conference Call)
Present: Hilary Kraus, Paige Weston, Kathe Conley, Cason Snow, Nancy Sosna Bohm, Amanda Pippitt, Steve Wright, Kathy Chang
The meeting convened at 2:40 p.m.
The minutes of the March 13, 2007 meeting were approved.
End-user tutorials discussion consumed much of the meeting, primarily concerning where “Show Me How” links should go, continued from email discussion prior to the meeting.
Amanda suggested: “Borrowing Items through I-Share” should be in the local OPACs.
Considerations:
It’s 4 minutes long
Next to “Repeat search in the I-Share Catalog?”
Try changing to “Repeat search in I-Share.” Followed by “What is I-Share? (brief movie)”
See: http://develop.carli.illinois.edu/i-share_dev
Advanced Search page drop down menu to tutorials:
Find Shorter Works tutorial will have a link for “chapters, short stories, or plays” and one for “music”
Move menu to left
For Advanced Search: Partial Information, “Search With Partial Information” or….? Think about wording
Jon could not be present, but had suggestions for the Limiting a Search tutorial
Group decision to put “Show Me How Limits Work” on the More Limits page.
Quick Search page: a place for links to Advanced Search Tutorials?
“Borrowing items” link on Patron Login page
Amanda will think of wording
Concern expressed that My Account link is already on that page
Hilary asks that each member take another quick look at assigned tutorials and link placement
Slowness issues with downloading tutorials: decided to be good enough
Comments on tutorials: links don’t look clickable
Print/Save/E-mail box changes: Especially to the heading? Paige will look at possibility of altering text.
Spellchecking tool: Table discussion until next meeting when Jan & Jon can be present
Branding in the catalog: I-Share Logo is big, takes up real estate, makes extra page print
Paige will make 80%
We will think about words to convey what it is
These items from the Agenda will be covered in email discussions and/or at the next meeting:
New search types: Queries sent to voyager-l and pubserv-ig lists, no response yet.
CSS-ifying of WebVoyage for accessibility and customizability
New Books List
SFX implementation
The meeting adjourned at approximately 4 p.m.
The next meeting is scheduled for May, 17, 2-4 p.m., pending response from absent members.
