What is the history of Plinkit?
In 2003, Plinkit began as a two-year LSTA grant, “InformACTion”, with the goals of providing content management tools, great web site subject collections, and ways to deliver vital community information through small and medium-size public libraries in Oregon. InformACTion was supported in whole or part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the Oregon State Library and sponsored by the Multnomah County Library under the direction of Eva Miller. During this phase of the project, the hardware and software infrastructure was put in place, the initial Plinkit template and content was developed, and partner libraries were identified and trained to use Plinkit. In the fall of 2005, the Plinkit project was transferred to Library Development Services of the Oregon State Library. Darci Hanning, the newly hired Technology Development Consultant, began her adventure with Plone and Plinkit.
