Ms. Lenz will be cleaning up the listserv for Webmasters to make certain we have a current list.
W:\
Mr. Harmon announced that W:\ now accepts capital letters.
Committee Website
Ms. Lenz asked the group if the committee should have a website. The informal response was yes; it would be a good place to post guidelines, new ideas and minutes of meetings. One member commented that it is important for the various committees in the College to have access to the work the others are doing.
WebCT Manager
A number of people are currently using WebCT and have not used tools for managing the information. Ms. Lenz asked whether anyone had used Dreamweaver or Frontpage 2000? There was not a strong response regarding either program due to lack of experience in using them.
WebTools
Committee members were directed to the two following addresses for useful web tools:
