Agenda: NBIS Meeting on March 16, 2000
We have at least two guests (maybe three) coming to our meeting on Thursday, and at least two important topics to cover. We meet in Newcomb 389 from 1:30 to 3 p.m. 1. Bob Reynolds and Cindy Garver (associate director of the Alumni Association) will join us to talk about major web gateways to the University, the promise (and uncertainties) of customized portals, how we can best work together to maintain consistent -- or least compatible -- identities, and related topics. I've invited Maureen Wellen, director of communications at the Health System, to come, too, as she's been working closely with Kim Guenther on the reconceiving/redesign of one of the University's other main entrances. Am not yet sure whether she can attend. 2. N-BIS has been asked to put in priority order a list of recommendations in two sections of UCIT's strategic plan for technology at the Univ. The entire grid is attached; we are responsible only for Goals 4 and 5. It will really help if you can spend some time thinking about this list -- and what process will help us complete the job -- before the meeting. UCIT wants to hear back from us next month and to finish up the whole thing this semester.
