Hi Web friends & Shana
I formally propose to create a section in the website that is a library full of articles/videos (would be links) + key PDFs. As I read dozens of articles every day on politics, issues, etc, I just keep bookmarking them wishing we could all have access to them. The benefits of this Library or call it whatever you want….
1. Occupiers and anyone else can become better informed on the issues.
2. Occupiers will become better and better versed in the issues.
3. Non occupiers checking us out will learn more too.
4. Articles/Links can easily be accessed by the social media team to post on social sites such as Facebook.
5. Key PDFs floating around the internet are great resources to learn, argue, and prove facts and arguments.
6. Knowledge is power.

-All articles/links/videos/PDFs would have tags so that the visitor can find them by doing a search by keyword.
-There would have to be a search bar in the library section yes.
-Would definitely need a short intro blurb welcoming visitor and explaining the purpose of the library and how to use it/search for articles/info.
-Visually not sure yet how it should look. Some ideas: 1. Clickable word cloud. 2 Blog style where it is vertically long divided in sections by type of info. Example: http://www.occupythenews.org
-I have tons of articles etc we could start with. I would be happy to continuously provide links/articles to upload since I’m always reading.

I will be waiting for your comments. If you want to move fwd with this proposal, please let me know when you would meet to discuss it (I am not in the Web committee).

Thanks
Sebas
