DEC. 13, 2011:
SA, JN met with BAK for two hours to discuss the development of a new website for Latin American Studies. BAK liked several different options from other sites and would like several of those choices applied to LATAM's new site.

After viewing other websites, a selection of preferences was established,namely:
- build site separately from the Hisp. and It. Studies site
- use university template structure
- use left navigation similar to EMRC and Hums.
- apply easy maintenance approach
- consider "tab" feature an option
- use UVic crest logo
- use map on Home page
- LARG logo- Latin American Research Group - keep on Home page, link to LARG on Hisp website
- Images: many images- scrolling purposes - similar to SJ website; number of images
open for discussion, keep on Home page
- Page background color: BAK preference - pale yellow
- Text color: BAK preference dark blue
- Music, video add to site later
- Timeframe: Deadline - LARG's workshop date - March 19, 2011.

BAK has provided documentation and content for: images, eligible courses, course description, advisory committee, LARG logos, home page wording.

During SA's absence JN will consult with GN and MH for website assistance.

The LATAM website is now under construction.

Jan.31, 2011: The work done to date is an accumulation of work performed during January 2011 with navigation, layout, page creation, receipt of images - approx. 46 -
