Revision of Bylaws E-mail

The Bylaws of the South Texas Library System (STLS) and its proposed revisions may be found at www.stls.lib.tx.us/bylaws2010.pdf . There are several major changes in the Bylaws.

•    Membership will be open to all libraries in STLS (public, academic, school, private).
•    Member libraries may be represented by either a lay or a library representative.
•    The size and make up of the Advisory council could change if other types of libraries join STLS.

These changes in the STLS Bylaws reflect the changes in the Library Systems Act passed during 81st Legislative Session and the subsequent changes made in the Rules for Administering the Library Systems Act www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/libsysact/libsysact.html.

Voting will be done electronically. Please contact Alice Nixon This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have any concerns or suggestions.

Joomla for Your Website E-mail

STLS has recently put the finishing touches on version one of the Joomla! Sandbox, a simulated web environment where you can play with Joomla!, a content management system used to build websites. In this case, we've configured all the software needed and built a sample "shell" of a library website. We're hoping the Sandbox will be helpful to a number of libraries in creating their first, or substantially revising their current, website.
