Steve Wieda

Decisions from the 6/15/2015 User Experience Advisory Committee meeting:

  • A list has been compiled to determine the next steps for the Subject Specialists pages.  The Committee will consider:
    • Including links to the staff directory
    • Indication that the departments being searched are academic departments and not library departments
    • Including a chat widget
    • Inclusion of special collections staff and archivists
    • Inclusion of degree programs from professional schools
  • A collaborative session to explore ways to present Quicksearch in instruction will be planned for the first week of August.
  • The LibCal project will be postponed to roll out in January; the LibAnswers project will be moved forward to start in July.
  • Exhibition-related information on the website will be inventoried, analytics will be reported, and a proposal for increasing exposure of exhibition-related information will be produced.

Decisions from the 5/18 UXAC

Steve Wieda

Decisions from the 5/18/2015 User Experience Advisory Committee meeting:

  • Change the “Feedback” link on the bottom of all pages from the Qualtrics form to the new locally-developed Drupal feedback form.
  • Decisions made by the User Experience Advisory Committee will be put in the IT Newsletter with links to the full meeting minutes for those who are interested.
  • The technology behind the Resources About Yale search is great and the feature should be highlighted, but it shouldn’t be on the Quicksearch home page.
  • Decisions on the eBooks search should be held off until we get information from the eResources folks about the overlap between Orbis/Morris eBook content and Summon eBook content.
