MetaData and Search Engines

1. Announcements:
• We are in the process of refining our site's metadata and are requesting that you review your sites' metadata. If your metadata is inaccurate, missing or out of date, please let us know so that we can work with you to correct it.
• We will be implementing the new LeftHandNav style during the period from 12/15 through 1/15. During that period we will not update your navigation entries. Also be aware that your LeftHandNavigation may appear wrong or strange on the integration server.
• Our server cleanup was very successful. As you know, we deleted over 2000 outdated and extraneous files from our site. When this was done, we checked our site and found only approximately 6-8 broken links.
2. Presentation: Sharon Reynolds will discuss Google/Search engine indexing.
3. Tutorial Review:
• Workflow
• Using Preformatted Library Items
• A Guide to Text Formatting
• Text Formatting using CSS
4. New sites in progress: Accepted, Curriculum, Student Research, Family Medicine

   • Are there any topics you would like to see covered in our meetings?
   • Do you have any suggestions for improved workflow?
