Welcome

Welcome to information from WWDCS, the Visual Resources Collection and the Library's Web Manager (soon to be hired). The use and purpose of this blog will evolve over 2008 but it is my hope that it will become an easy to use and frequently used source of information for Library staff. Please send your comments and feedback as it evolves over the next few months.

What is a blog? : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer - in this case - the writers include staff from WWDCS, the VRC and the Web Manager (soon to be hired).

What is this blog?

There has been some confusion, I think, about the purpose of this blog. It was designed, as blogs can be, to be an authoritative communication vehicle out of WWDCS - it was not intended to be an interactive discussion forum. Yulexp can still be used for those more interactive discussions - or perhaps we need another unmoderated blog for that purpose.

It may be that a blog was the wrong medium to choose for this purpose given the fact that it was intended to be a one-way communication vehicle - if that is the case - we will investigate other communication vehicles and the blog will simply go away. In order to avoid confusion about the purpose - the ability to comment on this blog has been disabled.

At the same time we are looking at other ways to improve communication from WWDCS - beginning in February Randi McCray will be coordinating monthly expert user round-table meetings as a way to improve communication and encourage discussion - watch for information from Randi with dates/times, etc soon.

Expert Users Monthly Meeting

WWDCS will begin hosting monthly round table meetings with representatives from the Expert Users Group. In an effort to increase communication with the Expert Users Group and the reverse, WWDCS welcomes you to send suggested agenda items to the Expert Users list for the meetings. Monthly notices will go out with the meeting date and meeting location and a proposed agenda. These meetings will serve as a forum for department updates, technological changes, etc. which affect the computing population within the library. All Expert Users are not required to attend, but at least one from each department is recommended. The first meeting is scheduled to take place on February 26, 2008 in SML RM 410 11:00 AM.
