Hello from Columbia, MD - 2007/04/23 12:51
Hi,
I'm Beth Tribe, Coordinator of Software Support and Training at Howard County Library in Columbia, MD.
I'm sort of a "Jacqueline of all trades" which suits me just fine. Some of my duties include:
- redesigning our staff Intranet using Joomla
- adding content to our current (yucky) web site - it is being redesigned as well(sorry not using Joomla there but our PHP/MySQL-Writer-of-scripts-that-can-do-anything Web Guru was the one who turned me onto Joomla)
- writing FAQs and instructions for staff and customers
- training staff in things technology related (e.g. RSS, Groovix [see below], basic desktop functions, etc.)
Our library proudly supports open source when and where we can - originally our PACs ran on LuMix to now over 370 PACs on the public floor using Groovix , to moving to OpenOffice several years ago for staff and now for public word processing suite, to many of our servers using some form of Linux and later this year (probably summer) we are moving all staff to a Linux based (Ubuntu) desktop (only glitch is they'll have to use VMware to connect to the Horizon client - damn SirsiDynix and their love of MS and client based systems).
I look forward to this community growing and hopefully I can get help here and provide some as well.
