About CMCL's Site

This web site is a collaboration between CMCL Library staff members and the Library Development Services Department at the Oregon State Library. Many many thanks to Darci Hanning for her ideas and support as well as to the State Library in making this kind of service a reality.

About Plinkit

Many people along the way have contributed to the success of Plinkit. First and foremost, thanks go to Eva Miller, the original designer and creator of Plinkit and to the Multnomah County Library who originally sponsored the grant that funded the original project.

Special thanks to the Plone community at large who have been supportive of this project in so many ways.

Plinkit owes a big "Thank You" to the Oregon Department of Education who contributed the original content for the children's section of the Plinkit template. Content for these sections was derived from Castillo's Corner and is locally maintained by your public library.

Geir Bækholt of Plone Solutions contributed a Plone-friendly version of the "library use value calculator" based on the version from the Main State Library.

The Oregon Plinkit Project participates in the Plinkit Collaborative -- a group of several states that use localized versions of Plinkit for their public libraries. Oregon libraries using Plinkit benefit greatly through the Oregon State Library's work with a cooperative group of librarians, libraries, and resources for further Plinkit development.

And last but not least, Plinkit would not exist if it were not for the Institute of Museum and Library Services which funds Plinkit (in whole or in part) through the Library Services and Technology Act.
