If you are reading this article, then you've probably noticed that things look and feel a bit different here at www.doaks.org. We are thrilled to announce the launch of our new website, made possible with the implementation of the content management system Plone. After months of planning, organizing, designing, coding, and uploading content, we hope that everyone appreciates the new look. Plone allows everyone on our staff to do basic editing and content management of their departments' pages. It also makes background things like linking, cross-referencing, and uploading images incredibly simple. It has also allowed us to do bigger things like reorganize our website navigation, begin cataloguing our assets digitally, and completely overhaul a certain newsletter. Plone has already helped us to refine our web presence, and will continue to streamline the way we distribute information to the public. We hope that this will be a pleasant change for our staff and especially for our scholars and visitors!
