Module III was quick and I had to push through and make decisions quickly. After reading the articles and posting to all four discussions I immediately begin to find a librarian to interview. The interview section was harder than I expected because, we only had minimal days to find a CMS user and set up interviews, I started with the library where I work, I knew the Technical Services librarian is out of the country, so I spoke to another librarian in the area. We are all members of the Website committee, set out to update and bring our website over to the webmaster at our institution. Well several things have happened since we had our last website meeting.
The university webmaster resigned
The librarian in the department no longer works with the website
Everything is on hold until the new webmaster comes on board
So my next bright idea is to call a neighboring college. I checked out their website online and it looked marvelous, I called the library director who was very nice. I emailed her my questions because she thought she could answer them, but instead forwarded the questions to the colleges webmaster. This webmaster was fully knowledgeable with CMS technology. His experience with so many different types really impressed me. I was appreciative of their kindness and their valuable time spent helping me with the interview process.
This class can really discuss a topic to no end,lol. I enjoy the discussions and enjoy reading how other libraries are handling technology issues. We all have different experiences and different opinions, it is great to share.
The turn around time for this assignment give experiences in deadlines, and how to hustle through to complete a task. After all of this I am tired, but module 4 is calling my name.
Module 3= OUT!
