Agenda

• Pre-meeting work:
  • Review the below enhancements and comment on the shared Word Document. (I will move these 5 to the top so they are more easily located within the larger list.)
  • As you have time, look through the rest of the enhancements and mark those that you think are not necessary to review. (e.g., because they have no action associated with them.) 
• During the meeting, we will discuss our findings and decide on next steps.

...

• While this enhancement is a new standard feature and did not require discussion, it did motivate some thoughts about our creating new templates for instructions and library staff. 
• J will solicit ideas for templates, and we can test creating them in the Sandbox.
• During our discussion of templates, we discussed how unwieldy large lists are. We discussed the possibility of having it be a default setting that all sections in the list are collapsed. This is a possibility, but requires further discussion–perhaps in consultation with Amy Deschenes.
