Data management, content management, Admin issues are all just a matter of keeping current and making it easily navigable. Sort of like “Access for Dummies” particularly for the older population. There must be a team of IT professionals that does this for every department? It may help to run a California Patch like the Berkeley Patch. I really enjoy getting local news every morning vis the Internet. Beats browsing through pages of stinky newsprint.

I found it eventually, but another couple of times I gave up looking. They need to make it easier to access, you have to play detective to find the information on the site.
