About/Contact
- This blog is where I document web design and technology stuff I learn as I work on migrating the SLA to the new CMS. It's written for my colleagues, myself and perhaps as a reference for future web liaison folks starting in other schools and departments.

Though a recent study stops short of saying podcasts can replace classes, it shows that they can be extremely useful in supplementing lectures. - More Asides
