No Ken, you don't expect too much at all. I don't know a thing about Cascade, but can tell you I've been a very happy OmniUpdate client for nearly five years. Our IT staff has never been involved -- no heavy programming experience is needed. It's ...
Angela French posted this resource to the uweb listerv yesterday -- an online database of social media policies and guidelines
Todd Sanders from the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, provides this job description.
It's not for our school, but it is a pretty decent description of a social media intern position:

We're working on this with a school right now. I'll share what we end up at!
Here was mine (with a hearty assist from Jessica Krywosa of Suffolk University):
This position will allow a student the opportunity to help shape and promote online and social media community experiences for the college. The social media intern s...
I dont know if its served me well - its only been a few months - but I have only a short descriptive 'graph that I used.

I also would like to hear what people think. I've found in the past 2 years that the best people I have hired are ones I have recruited. I'm becoming a social media headhunter. :) Find people who do it well, then go get them. Of course that isn't ...

"Web First" Philosophy
Oh, how I love this post from mStoner, and how I hope it will help me to continue to grow our Web operation in the near future....

Web IS about Customer Service
Gerry McGovern's latest post, "Web professional: Are you ready to serve?," in my opinion is his best yet. He just hit the nail right on the head. This is a point I've been trying to make on my campus for a decade.... and I've made many people not-so happy because I refuse to give-in to the bells & whistles just to serve them and not the customer. There is a way to balance the aesthetics, and throw in the occasi… Continue

Take a look at what we're doing over at nuCloud for folks. Got Belmont, USC Upstate, and soon Anderson launched on our interactive map platform. It's basically designed to be cheap and easy with very fast turnaround. Fire off an email to info (at)...
Wondering if anyone can share anything about using external parties to produce a virtual campus tour? I'm looking for costs and issues -- what're the benefits of going external vs trying to produce inhouse? What are the drawbacks?
Many thanks for ...

Thanks for the news! And thanks to both Terry and Mark for making this possible.
Hello,
I'm the webmaster for a community college who is responsible for managing, maintaining and developing our institutional website. We currently have 65+ staff who update content on sections of our website using Adobe Contribute.
I've been t...
We've been running the ActiveCampus portal for just over a year now. Please let me know if you have any specific questions and I'll try to answer them for you.
Thanks, Michael.
Ah, well that makes a pretty big difference. Then I'd say probably about a 15% increase in salary or $7500, whichever is more, unless they're making a pretty big jump up the ladder for it.
We recently decided on Drupal and purchased support from Acquia Drupal. We've been pretty happy with them so far. Great response times and access to free webinars that have been pretty helpful.
There's no real "professional organization" per se yet. The HighEdWeb group had been working on something like that though, but I'm not sure where they are at in that process.
As for conferences, I'd generally recommend HighEdWeb and EDUWeb.
Mark can I also jump on the wave. dladner@nctc.edu
Thanks
As I am new to the higher ed community, I was wondering if as a professional group do we have a professional type organization?
Secondly, is there some type of annual conference for higher ed web developers/designers, where we can get together an...
Excellent! I too look forward to watching the site continue to grow and evolve.. I personally have this site listed as my main contact site than the others. I post and read on almost daily. When compared to the other sites that I look at once a we...
Thank you so much, Michael. That's great information. We already have an internal candidate in mind, so relocating, etc. aren't issues. This person has the required education and experience. With that in mind, what would you say would be fair? Tha...
Ken, actually just got through looking at both CMS. I demoed Cascade Server and then Omni Update all in the same day. I do not think that you could go wrong with either of the systems. I loved both of them. Both are excellent CMS. But after the da...
Without looking in to the cost of living up the Rhode Island way, if I were looking at it I wouldn't even apply for less than $70K (but I figure in a cost of living increase, plus moving costs, etc. I'm greedy, but I also wouldn't move across the ...

One, where is this at?
Two, define appropriate. There's "higher ed" appropriate and "competitive" appropriate.
Three, how many people is the position in charge of?
Hello, everyone!
I'd greatly appreciate your input. I work in Web Communications and have been tasked with researching an appropriate salary for a Director of Web Communications Services.
