Agenda for July 16, 1998 NBIS Meeting
Newcomb Hall: Room 481 9:30 - 10:45 a.m. On the agenda: POLICY ISSUES -- "co-branding" associated with University top-level pages: do we want to do it? What kind of guidelines should we recommend for such ventures? The question has come up in connection with a search engine firm that would give us their searching mechanism for free in return for a button with their logo on the search form and a commercial banner on the page that returns the results. See UC-Berkeley example at http://www-resources.berkeley.edu/nhpsearch/ -- links to vendors who want to advertise commercial services through our website to University employees and students. These would be vendors who do NOT have a contractual relationship with the University (as distinct from the links we provide to TIAA or QualChoice, for example, a companies under contract to provide benefits to employees. We have been approached with at least one proposal of this kind, but should consider the policy question first.
