2007/10/16: CC:DA web master appointed

Announced today by Cheri Folkner, CC:DA chair

I am happy to announce that Patty Hatch has agreed to serve as CC:DA's webmaster through ALA Annual 2010. Patty received her MLS from Simmons College and currently works as an educational technology & communications Specialist at Harvard. Previously she was a senior training librarian in Harvard University Library's Office for Information Systems.

Patty will be working with Christine Taylor of the ALCTS office in transitioning the CC:DA website from Penn State to ALA hosted servers once ALA is ready to host the web pages -- that may be after Midwinter rather than this fall. I am sure that Patty will keep us updated on the timetable and progress of the transition. I have also appointed Patty to CC:DA's TF on internal/external communication.

Although John Attig will be doing some webmaster duties until the transition is complete, my hope is that the transition will ease the workload for him so he won't have to be worrying about the CC:DA website while performing his ALA rep responsibilities. John's work as CC:DA webmaster has been tremendous -- CC:DA is in his debt.

Congratulations Patty! I look forward to working with you via the CC:DA Task Force on Internal and External Communication
