e-rate expert
"there" for County Librarian
I
appreciate the efforts of Rush Brandis with regard
to e-rate and the move to Calnet II. He really
looks out for us. It is such a relief to know that
someone with Rush's knowledge and commitment is
there for consultation.

CSL’s
Kurutz delivers “knock-out” presentation in
South Pasadena
I am
writing to praise…Mr. Gary Kurutz, who was the
keynote speaker at our Volunteer Recognition
Luncheon. Gary delivered a knockout presentation
called “Southern California for Health, Wealth,
and Sunshine: The Role of Boomers and Boosters in
the Development of the Golden State.” Our large
audience greatly appreciated his incredible
knowledge, speaking talent, warmth, and humor and
many asked for a reading copy of his presentation.
Among those requestors was our newly-appointed
Mayor Michael Cacciotti. Gary wove in some
wonderful details about South Pasadena and the
Raymond Hotel that personalized the presentation
too. I don’t think we could have gotten a better
presenter for the program.

Library Development Services team assists in “myriad”
ways
I
have appreciated the [California State Library’s]
Library Development Services staff over the 22 years (13
as County Librarian) I’ve been here at Tehama County
Library. To a person, they have been courteous and always
ready to help solve problems or assist in a myriad of
ways. The workshops and forums have been invaluable in
helping me to provide more effective library services to
citizens.

Government
Publications head librarian does “outstanding work” on
California state portal
Portion
of letter to Kris Ogilvie, manager of California State
Library Government Publications section, from J. Clark
Kelso, Chief Information Officer of the state of
California lauding Ogilvie’s contribution to the
redesign of the state’s web portal:
This
letter recognizes and congratulates you on your
outstanding work and contributions to the State CIO’s
Web Site Refresh Project. Your dedication, usability and
information architecture skills, and hard work contributed
to this project’s success.
In
September 2006, the State CIO’s Office requested your
assistance with this project on a part time basis. On
January 10, 2007, we finalized the Charter and on April 13
we released to production the new site. In addition to
refreshing it and giving it the new approved look and
feel, the team created a site that as Stephen Clemons from
San Diego County said “…I am REALLY impressed...
Everything is easy to get to, and find, and is a good
reflection of Clark's professionalism. …Again excellent,
the team should be really proud of the web site, and the
work you are doing… It is also so good to see that the
content on the site is current and relevant. So many CIO
sites have old outdated information.”
Thank
you for making a significant difference by delivering a
new State CIO web site that as Cathilea Robinett from
eRepublic said today “… looks very clean and
functional, my favorite kind of sites. Well done to the
team!”
J.
Clark Kelso, Chief Information Officer,
State of California
