[Martin Courtois]

Hi Carol,

Good question!  Here's some basic info on our fledging operation:

Quoting Carol Hixson <chixson at darkwing.uoregon.edu>:

9 people are directly involved with planning and implementation.  About
12 others are involved in other capacities (tech consultants, task
force members, administrators, etc.)

In terms of FTE, here's a rough breakdown:

quasi-project manager: .75 FTE
Grad School rep:       .50
SysAdmin               .05
Developer              .10
Librarians             .10
Others                 too small to estimate

> 2) What is the background of the people involved?

Manager: reference libraian, webmaster
Grad School rep: administrator
SysAdmin and Developer: computer science, IT
Librarians: cataloging
Others: administrators, IT, computer science, librarianship

> 2b) From outside the library, what departments/units are
> represented? (campus computing, academic departments,
> campus administration, etc.)
