Patricia asked us if we wanted to set standards for logo sizes. We agreed to recommend three sizes, but not to require any specific sizes. The sizes under consideration are the standard box size of the CUL logo, the thumb nail and one size in between. The designer developed three sizes for the CUL logo. The designer has also experimented with a new CUL homepage, incorporating buttons on the left side of the page. Tony will add the logos and the experimental homepage to the web design committee's page so that we can review them.
We consistency vs usability. We looked at Keith Jenkins' annex request form and the CU Renewal form again. Cynthia agreed to to talk with circulation staff to see what works for them. We like the simple design with the words to the left of the boxes. We want consistency, but we don't want to inhibit usability. Michael will check the Yale Style Manual to see if they have a forms section. We still want our forms viewable in lynx since this what many library kiosks offer. Susan will look at the minimum information that should be included on a form. Committee members should forward what they see as requirements to Susan.
Katherine wondered whether other libraries had annex request forms. She agreed to look into it and get back to the group.
We decided to move to meeting monthly, on the third Monday of the month. If something pressing comes up we can meet more often.
