Mann B70

Announcements - no announcements

Minutes - approved and uploaded

ReDs update - at this time there is nothing that directly effects the Documentation Committee

Find Articles and FAQ updates - tabled due to upcoming changes in Find Articles and Find Databases

Changes to Blackboard and linking documents to reflect copyright policy - Camille showed us the changes.  If anyone has any recommendations for edits, please let Camille know by Tuesday.

Guided Keyword Search for Donor - Jim will take a look at the help pages to see where changes need to be made to reflect the new donor search capabilities.

New website, wiki and printer-friendly pages - Camille is looking into getting a Google search box for the help pages.  We discussed how to make the help pages printer-friendly.  Someone mentioned that perhaps Matt Connoly has a script that can do this.  Camille gave us a quick tour of the wiki so that we can post and edit documents directly in the wiki as opposed to emailing each other any documents or changes.

Other business - Melody and Susan will switch months for hosting the Documentation Committee.  Melody will arrange for January 5 and Susan will arrange for February 2.
