St. Patrick’s Senior Center imes VOL. 124 NO. 29 8 Pages Wednesday, July 20,2005 Oregon Tlrail Library District has innovative new website This month, Oregon Trail Library District will present a new face to the world with an innovative Web site that represents a collaborative effort among Oregon’s public libraries. As part of a federally-funded grant effort, Oregon Trail Library District has agreed to test a Webauthoring tool called Plink.it. Plinkit was created to meet the needs of public libraries in Oregon and provides easy ways to create and maintain a library- specific web site, right through the web. Plinkit Web sites are currently hosted through the Oregon State Library, and Multnomah County Library administers the grant that supports the project. Eva Miller, a librarian at Multnomah County Library, manages the Plinkit project and continues to develop the Plinkit authoring tools with input from library partners around the state, including county systems in Tillamook, Baker, Douglas, and Jefferson counties, as well as a half-dozen library systems in eastern Oregon. Miller believes Plinkit is especially beneficial in regions with sparse populations and great distances to travel between everyday needs. Today, so many library services can be used without having to be at the library, such as searching electronic databases of magazine articles and the library catalog. You can even get librarians to help you online, 24-hours a day, through the statewide virtual reference service L-net, But without a good library web site that staff can manage themselves, Jibrary patrons won’t be able to easily use or find these services from their home, school, or business. Oregon Trail Library District director Marsha Richmond is excited about being one of the first libraries to use Plinkit and hopes the project will grow. “It is so exciting to be able to offer our patrons access to library resources and a reference librarian 24 hours a day, seven days a week.” Richmond hopes patrons will begin to use their new Website at http://oregontrail.plinkit.org and discover everything the district has to offer online.
