Ongoing webjefa projects

•Online membership – Mac

•Research membership & discussion plugins (E & L)

•Develop support for CPMR, SSGA

•Recruit & train blog contributors

•Reconstruct past institute websites

•Complete transfer of email list and journal search from .net to .org

Final thoughts• We are a Mac organization

• We have amazing potential to expand our digital presence.

• Expansion of our digital presence needs to build carefully on existing patterns of member use.

• Our current digital presence continues to depend on the MALCS blog(/s?) and low-tech email lists together.
