1.   1:00-1:30 – Tom Teper, Tom Habing – CAPT charge
 
EC discussed with Tom Teper and Tom Habing the revised charge and organizational structure for CAPT. The new structure sets out strategic directions for CAPT, largely focused on communications and policy, while attempting to avoid diminishing the work of the working groups. This iteration is based on many discussions within CAPT and other groups in the Library, including all the proposed chairs of each working group. The goal of the new composition is to find a meaningful, deliberate way to capitalize on potential synergies. Tom and Tom will facilitate a discussion at the December 2, 2015 faculty meeting regarding the CAPT document as currently written.
 
2.   1:30-2:00 – Suzanne Chapman, Chris Prom – Web Development Work Update
 
Project goal is to create a website that is “modern, user-focused, useful, trustworthy, accessible, sustainable and extensible.” Process has become longer than originally anticipated with larger goals. Several test cases are underway to help facilitate decision-making. One major outstanding question is how to structure management of the new system and content after the transition is complete.
