Meeting prep (action items from last meeting):

• Everyone should look at the box types that they choose by Tuesday, if possible:
  • Peter: Rich text/Dynamic Content/scripts, RSS feeds
  • Angie: Embedding video and interactive polls, user link submission
  • Remlee: Remote script box, pod cast, web links
  • Maggie: Date and Events, Documents & Files
  • Georgiana: Tag Cloud, Books from the catalog
• Remlee will update the guidelines page (http://libstaff.mit.edu/web/guidelines/libguides.html).

Possible topics for discussion:

• What else would we like to see on tools template page that Nicole is making? (ex., bibliographic software, the search widget, etc)
  • Combine Barton and Multisearch in one box
  • Have them separate in their own boxes
  • Would people search for journal articles in
  • Bibliographic software links - take to cite-help
  • ILB
  • Ask Us button
• Should we use tags?
  • Set to be invisible, if no tags for a page.
  • Can't use until you publish
  • Let's not use it for now.  Too cluttered & unwieldy. Turn off from display home?
• Look at Post to LibGuides button.
  • Very cool!  Ask people to check their page after we add it.
  • Do you need to be logged in for it to work?  Couldn't just add to someone else's page, could you?
• Anything to discuss about search box at top?
  • Can it say "Barton?"  And we want it to be a keyword search?
  • Can we add Vera Multisearch?
  • You have to add a line to search "OR"??
  • Can we just get rid of the search box?
• Looked at box types:
  • Podcast
  • Web links
  • Remote script box
  • Web links with more info
  • RSS feeds: 5-29 items allowed
  • Books from the catalog
• Update on Marion's work:
