Quick Reference Guide Template Request (Aura)
A request for a set of quick reference guide templates to be provided which would be customizable and printable guides to laminate. These guides could be left at circulation desks for easy reference.
There was a presentation of some of the guide sheets and an explanation of how they can be customized for the colleges

The Footer Project
While colleges have been customizing their Primo Headers in Primo sizing issues were discovered (which are being remedied). In addition, during the customization phase, some colleges have been editing the footer portion of their Primo page as well. However, to achieve this, there is quite a bit of coding/CSS work that needs to be done to make it work.
There is the ambition that a “recommended template” or set of “guidelines” can be created by a working group that can be used by other colleges looking to customize their footers. This is so colleges that may not have staff with CSS/HTML skills can still make customizations.
Currently: Looking for an individual to lead this working group - they do not have to have HTML/CSS skills. They just need to keep the group organized.
This project is not scheduled to take place before Go-Live and can be afforded a flexible timeframe.
PMO to deal with these first stages - will begin by reaching out to individuals that Eva has already mentioned as capable and/or interested in the project
Splash Page
Currently, a “Splash Page” is being created to accompany the launch of Page 1+. This page will include basic information about the project, its goals and participants.
