• How much time we need for training?  I'll schedule 4 or 5 trainings throughout July now, and send out a call for who wants to do which session.  Who to invite?

Lets plan on hour long sessions. (And have drop in for hands on?) Angie had a question about whether or not we can use libguides for staff. Remlee will check with Nicole but our charge is really to deal with the public web pages. Remlee will send the invite to ps-lib.

• Need to chat about guidelines we made on Wednesday? http://libstaff.mit.edu/web/guidelines/libguides.html

No we don'e need to talk about this.

• Keep on dissecting...  Talk about:
  • Look at Post to LibGuides button.
  • Tags: should we use?

How many tabs? We don't want too many so that they are overwhelming.
 We decided to limit the number of tabs to 1 row. 

• What about subtabs?  We won't legislate, just ask people to keep simplicity in mind. having subtabs could help with the busy feel with them --you can put less on a page with subtabs. If you feel the need for many subtabs consider reorganizing your pages, creating mulitple pages or sticking with dreamweaver.

We looked at whether links added should open a new window, new tab or in the same window.

• • Page categories: which should we use? (under system settings)
  • Tabs: How many? Naming conventions? Sub-tabs?
  • Shortcut URLs?
  • Comments?
  • Guide statuses?
  • Rules for page layout?  2/3 column recommendations?
  • When should people link to, instead of copy?
• What else would we like to see on tools template page that Nicole is making?
