09.05.11 Website Update
We are in process of revamping and moving our website. Members involved in this process are from the Exec Board, Editorial and PR Committees. The previous membership update process via website still included a lot of manual handling by staff, which was inefficient and was subject to errors. We are working towards an automated method that would provide ILA with a more immediate, accurate and efficient update of all member data.
As part of this process, some functionalities, including member renewals and updates online, have had to be 'turned off' temporarily on the existing site, to give us the ability to design, build, test and transition member data to our new database and website interface. We're also working to eliminate duplications and errors throughout the member database, so we can "start fresh". We may ask for your help in this process, as we go along.
Once we have finalized the transition - we hope by the end of the year - these functions will be re-launched. We appreciate your patience as we make changes to serve you.
