[Web4lib] RE: [ALACOUN:14893] Content Management RFP

[Drew, Bill]

As an ALA and LITA member, I fully support this decision to look for a new CMS.  I have complained as loudly and as often as others about the website.  I have also done some investigation into CMS when lloking at managing our blog and website.  It is not an easy choice to make.  I am looking forward to future improvements in the ALA website and in ALA's net presence.

I am one of a number of WAC members who went over the RFP and added my 200
cents. I was pleased to see the RFP, and am glad to see ALA move forward on
it.
