Others feedback?
Kee-Young: how to support batch updates on existing items - this would be useful to add series metadata for past items
Kee-Young: export/download a list of items in spreadsheet format to review metadata
Updates/questions from other institutions
Sruthin: want to make Avalon look and feel like an MSU site. Had to make a bunch of changes to views to get the site to look the way that they like. How to retain those updates during future updates.
Heavily working on the home page. Custom header, pre-footer, and footer, as well as background, etc. After that will be customizing the browse/search pages.
Jason: in earlier releases, when uploading on the web, had to use Chrome. In 7.6 and 7.7, should be able to use Firefox.
Kee-Young: is there more documentation on how to use Avalon for course reserves.
Here is public documentation shared with IU instructors: https://uisapp2.iu.edu/confluence-prd/display/MCO/Adding+Streaming+Media+Course+Reserves+to+a+Canvas+Site
Next meeting rescheduled to the third Tuesday in January due to holidays. Scheduled for 1/16/24 at 1pm Eastern.
