The group met 4-6 times this quarter.
Recent Activities
First Activity
LITA Jobs Site. In November 2016, the WCC conducted some user testing of the new LITA Jobs site. While most of the development had been completed over the summer, we needed to know how the site functioned when people unfamiliar with it used it. As a result of the effort we found several ways in which the new jobs site can be improved.

Second Activity
The WCC continued to maintain our WordPress installations. We regularly update the themes and plugins of each install in order to keep our sites secure.

Third Activity
We have begun an effort to find a theme which will work across most of our WordPress sites. These include the LITA Blog, LITA Docs (which will include the Forms site), and LITA services sites. This is part of our effort to normalize branding across all of our WordPress instances.

What will your group be working on for the next three months?
We are going to work to resolve issues with the LITA Jobs website discovered in the recent round of user testing. Additionally, we will be working to normalize branding on all LITA WordPress sites. This includes applying a common WordPress theme, ensuring all such sites have the LITA logo, proper ALA branding, and link back to the main LITA website. In the process we will also continue to address GDPR compliance by ensuring there are links to ALAâs Privacy policy on all LITA WordPress websites.
Is there anything LITA could have provided during this time that would have helped your group with its work?
Other than the lingering issue regarding financing and the jobs site, there is nothing else we needed from LITA.
