KLA - Information & Technology Round Table

Starting in February 2007, ITRT subscribed to a Web hosting service. The package includes 300 GB storage, mailing list and some Open Source application software. The purpose of getting this service is to build a common virtual location for better communication, collaboration and sharing information among the ITRT members. It will be used as a developmental space or platform for ITRT members to gain experience with technologies such as Content Management System (CMS), Online Survey, and Web 2.0 technologies, etc. It can also be used to support library web projects as needed by any Kentucky libraries.

Details about the hosting features can be found at vendor’s site at http://www.hostmonster.com/hosting-features.htm.

ITRT hopes you will make good use of this service so that this investment can reach the best of its value. ITRT commits to this kind of subscription as long as there is a project that needs it. The following policies and procedures will serve as a guide for this service:

Eligible Projects:
Any library project that needs a technology available in this package can be eligible. This project can be a library’s project, a special interest group’s project or even an ITRT member’s individual research project

Procedure:
1. An ITRT member from the library or special interest group who serves as a project liaison submits a request to the ITRT Web Service Officer
2. Once the request is approved, the supported application will be installed
