Action items from Meeting #3

We just finished our third LibGuide design meeting [3 hrs including writeup]. We spent much of the time discussing process and firmed up a number of action items for each of us to accomplish in the next two weeks.  Chris agreed to review the "Our Aerial Photographs" page on the current guide, and make updates to the Maps BETA page within a week's time.  Meanwhile, I will be figuring out how to update the digital materials page.  How easy, for example, is it to transfer material that is currently on another LibGuide? Over the weekend of November 3 & 4, I will be rearranging things on Maps BETA until we have a pretty good template for the "Finding Online Maps" guide. This may include borrowing from Kent State University's version.

I will also suggest a process for updating the maps website as a whole.

Next meeting date and time: Thursday, November 8 at 10:00 am

This is our Maps Development Page, created by Darren Chase.  The ultimate goal of my internship is to develop a plan for updating the current LibGuide for Maps & Remote Sensing Imagery.  While we may in the end decide to configure it as a single LibGuide, right now we are considering the possibility of following Kent State's lead and set up a simply entrance page that then guides the visitor to several different, more focused guides [findingmaps, onlinemaps, gis, citingmaps, campusmaps, 19thcentury].
