From Dave’s Oct. 11 email: “As we discussed at the last Open Forum, this new task force will help conceptualize separate work forms for non-ETD student works, publications, and presentations, as well as review existing work forms and propose updates to help text, order of fields, and overall functionality based on usability concerns. The group will also help test those changes.”

Field of the Month Initiative | Melissa | Presented a slightly revised version of last month’s MWG meeting slides at the Oct. 1 open forum. Field of the Month Initiative received broad support, and no concerns were raised regarding the proposed change to the help text for the title field: Next steps and logistical questions Need to communicate information about this initiative both on a general level and specific to each change via email, in addition to Open Forum updates, but who should receive these communications? Just project managers, who can then coordinate others on their campus? Determine a schedule for rolling out changes: Decide on field of the month and related changes/clean-up during MWG meetings (third Thursday of every month) Announce field of the month at Open Forum (first Friday of every month) and solicit feedback When should the follow-up email go out to inform those not present at the Open Forum of upcoming changes? How much time should we plan on to roll out changes and communicate instructions for clean-up?
Next field(s): Author/Advisor/Committee Members 2020-2021 MWG recommended help text: Enter the author’s name exactly as it appears on the title page of the work. If there are multiple authors, use the “Add another Author” option for each additional author. SF State revised version: Enter the author’s name exactly as it appears on the work (e.g., Jerome C. Baxter). If there are multiple authors, use the “Add another Author” option for each additional author.
