  In attendance: Randolph Bias, Faculty Advisor
  
  
• Old Business
  It should be noted on the IAG web site that the San Antonio Public Library Project is finished, even though it shows that final testing was never done. We do not plan on doing anything more on this project unless specifically requested by the client. However, to prevent any confusion as to the status of this project, Randolph suggested that we contact the client and if it's OK with them, that we add a footnote stating that testing was not done at the end of the project due to a lack of time but that the project is in fact finished and the client is satisfied. Rhonda said she would contact Steve and ask him to forward this request to the San Antonio Public Library and get an answer from him.
  
  
• New Business
  Rhonda added a comment that she would like, from time to time, to act as a facilitator for the Information Architect Group in the event someone else from the Group would like to lead a presentation. Alternatively, we could share the leadership duties at the meetings among the members.
  
  
• Projects.
  
  GSLIS IT Lab Portal Project
  
  Due to Kayla needing to take off some time for personal reasons, she has asked to delay the proposed meeting with the IT Lab from this Friday (October 12, 2001) to next Friday (October 19, 2001). At this meeting, she will go over her proposal for the IT Lab Portal. In the meantime, she has asked the group members to look at other portals and to work on our focus groups.
  
  Center for Computational Visualization Project
  
  There was much discussion on this project, including the fact that this would be a one-semester project to be completed by December, 2001. Accordingly, we need to prepare a proposal to give to Dr. Bajaj in the relatively near future. Marlene had prepared an initial presentation on this project, and gave her facts and findings to the group members.
  The following schedule was agreed upon to accommodate both projects:
  * October 17, 2001 Usability Demonstration/Lecture by Randolph
  * October 24, 2001 Portal Project Update/Presentation
  * October 31, 2001 Usability Walkthrough for CCV
  
  
• Remaining Issues:
  Rhonda gave a quick power point presentation of the information architecture procedure. There being nothing else, this meeting was adjourned at approximately 1:00 p.m.
