Issues to be tested

• save-print-email
• Browse Indexing

We decided that instead of putting all the question in one survey protocol, to provide some students with the save-email-print survey and others with the browse test survey.  We  will all look at our IRB requirements this week.  We also decided to keep it simple and write down the responses students give us instead of recording it. 

In addition, we discussed with FCLA the possibility to adding an “export” feature to Endeca like many of the databases do so patrons can export records to a disk in a “friendly” file format.

IRB Dates: Dec.1-Jan.31
