WEBMASTERS’ SIG
REDUX!
In January 2000, SCRLC sponsored the
first Webmasters’ Special Interest Group that would meet quarterly to discuss various
web related subjects like usability and accessibility, editing and management,
proxy servers and database driven websites, as well as different aspects of
website writing and redesign.
These informal meetings, which generally
lasted 2 hours and often included an opportunity for lunch afterward, were usually
led by the SIG members themselves who were willing to share their expertise and
valuable insights. They were held in various
locations throughout our 14 county membership to give everyone
the opportunity to attend, and most importantly, participation was open to all:
librarians, technicians, webmasters and anyone else with an interest in Website
related topics.
It’s been a couple of years since
the Webmasters’ SIG last met, but lately, we are hearing renewed interest in reactivating
this excellent networking and learning opportunity. Earlier this month an email
was sent to former attendees and the response has been enthusiastic. Are
there things about web design you would like to discuss with your peers? Do you
have an expertise you would like to share? Would you like to learn how others
"do it good?" If so, please consider supporting the reactivated
Webmasters' SIG! Just email back to me,
