NOTES FROM RAMSEY LIBRARY; 2009-3

NEW LEADERSHIP IN CITS

As most of you know, Ramsey Library, Classroom & Instructional Technology Support (CITS), and the entire UNC Asheville community has lost the long serving and loved Rudy Moorrees to the temptations of retirement and Hawaii. In addition to losing Rudy’s notable experience, expertise, and commitment to UNC Asheville and like many areas on campus, we have lost Rudy’s position apparently indefinitely. The silver lining in that very black cloud is the also talented and committed John Myers, our Moodle and course support expert, has agreed to assume Rudy’s management duties on an interim basis in addition to his own important work with Moodle much to my delight.

In spite of John’s commitment, expertise, and devotion to UNC Asheville, he will not be able to devote the time and energy to both Moodle and CITS leadership as had two experienced and consummately talented professionals have in the past. His teammates in CITS, as well as all the folks in Ramsey Library and ITS, will do all they can to help, and we’re looking for ways to increase support. Everyone on campus can help by being sure to direct questions and requests to the folks best equipped to respond. These include:
Leigh Svenson (Auditoriums (Lipinsky, HLH)), lsvenson@unca.edu, 251-6630

Greg Dillingham (Distance Learning Services), gregd@unca.edu, 251-6333

Emily Ellis (Distance Learning Services), eellis@unca.edu, 251-6333

Chris Asbill (Equipment setup & circulation, duplication), casbill@unca.edu, 251-6996

John Myers (Moodle, course improvement), jmyers@unca.edu, 250-3885

Kent Thompson (Television production), thompson@unca.edu, 251-6425

Many thanks for all your help, patience, and understanding.
