From Cathy Aster:
We've received numerous requests, and we're happy to share our inception deck and sprint demos from our current development work underway on Spotlight here at Stanford (https://github.com/sul-dlss/exhibits). The inception deck provides key context: http://bit.ly/2hV3xPS. Sprint demo playlist is here: http://bit.ly/2zs1hqP
Brainstorming Ideas
At the November 3, 2017 Service and Collections call, there was a brainstorming session on what the group wanted to accomplish. The list is in the minutes for the meeting. The group also decided to create a poll to help prioritize this list and identify issues that are most important for our institutions. A link to the poll will be added when we are ready for review. Here is the link to the Google Doc that has our notes.
We have broken out the topics into TWO (2) broad areas as outlined below.
Please feel free to update or add items and comments.
