This monthly status report is to share progress each month for the the Findability Project and to outline plans for the coming month.
Overview
This section will be highlights from the last month. High level budget info. Can include a video snapshot of features for example.
In June, the development team completed testing on a prototype with the Open Team and have begun gathering feedback on the homepage design.
More information about previous activity and timelines for the project can be found on the Findability Project Charter Wiki page. As the project is using an AGILE software development approach , project timelines and deliverables fluctuate based on identified needs and testing results.

Goals that were met, decisions made, sprint outcomes, milestones met, etc.
The development team hosted an information session on June 17th demonstrating the prototype and work done in May/June.
Three main goals were met last month by the Findability team:
- Finished prototype back-end and textbook display on front-end (template for adding OER, improved file upload, more metadata for supplemental material)
