Agricultural Sciences joins growing WebLion partner list

by Mike Halm

College of Agricultural Sciences have joined the WebLion partnership and have ambitious goals to reinvent the Web experience down on the farm and in the college

The world has changed considerably in the past ten years, particularly as it relates to access of services through the Web. Much of the past thinking of how the web is being used, has been reshaped as a result of the constant advancement in technology and methodologies. Like many of Penn State colleges and departments, the College of Agricultural Sciences has huge web presence with hundreds of sites and need to update their existing strategies to take advantage of current practices. 

The College of Agricultural Sciences has turned to the WebLion team and developed an ambitions plan to reinvent their web presence.  AgSci will work with the WebLion team to leverage, both the community and the work completed over the last three and a half years to develop the open source Plone CMS at Penn State. Their first year plan includes creating a standard set of skins to be used though out the college, implementing WebLion Hosting Services, concentrating on moving academic unit web sites into the new templates and developing end user training for college content providers. Developers, multimedia specialists and content providers will work together under the leadership of Chris More and developer, Tim Simkins to make these goals a reality.

Welcome College of Agricultural Sciences!
