Albany Alumni Association gets new Web site, doesn’t understand concept of “permanent”
Just got an e-mail from my alumni association. “Permanent” just isn’t what it used to be.
Currently, you are enjoying several perks as a member of the UAlbany alumni online community; one of these is the permanent email/email forwarding feature. Unfortunately, this specific component is not offered by the new company we are working with. If you’re utilizing the Albany.edu permanent email feature now, please be aware that this will no longer be available after July 10. Users of this feature will need to begin making email-related adjustments as needed, so that you continue to receive your emails (most likely at a personal account through Gmail, Yahoo, or Hotmail.)
Michael Sauers is currently the Director of Technology for Do Space in Omaha, NE. Michael has been training librarians in technology for the past twenty years and has also been a public library trustee, a bookstore manager for a library friends group, a reference librarian, serials cataloger, technology consultant, and bookseller since earning his MLS in 1995 from the University at Albany’s School of Information Science and Policy. Michael has also written dozens of articles for various journals and magazines and his fourteenth book, Emerging Technologies: A Primer for Librarians (w/ Jennifer Koerber) was published in May 2015 and more books are on the way. In his spare time he blogs at travelinlibrarian.info, runs The Collector’s Guide to Dean Koontz Web site, takes many, many photos, and typically reads more than 100 books a year.
