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.
