Anne Lind's web group b. Web administrators (the people we met with once) 4. How to measure a website's effectiveness What would we want to know? Do we have tools to answer those questions, or do they need to be designed? (I have information on a couple of commercial examples, but really am more interested in the background question -- what kinds of data can help this committee understand usage of our site, know what improvements to make, perform our mission as the oversight group?) 5. New business What should we be working on next? How often do we need to meet as a whole? Louise Dudley, Director University Relations
