White Whale Selected to Be WebRedo Partner

This is White Whale. Straight off the WebRedo Blog, Dean of LIS Mike Roy announced on Friday that Middlebury/Monterey will be partnering with White Whale Web Services for the new design and information architecture of the Middlebury website. Mike writes: “We believe White Whale has the right combination of skills, experience and vision to meet our demanding requirements. Their process and resulting products have proven to be creative, user-centric, and highly customized to meet the unique needs of the institutions they work with. We came to this decision through an open, collaborative process that included input from all those who attended the open vendor presentations both in-person and via webcast in Monterey.”

White Whale will henceforth be called “the Whale.”

The Whale will be coming to Middlebury April 27-29 to hear from faculty, staff, and yes even students. They might just be grabbing students in the dining hall, so be prepared. Really think that Midd needs to put the College seal back on the website? Tell it to the Whale. Really think that Midd needs more flash graphics with cool photos? Tell it to the Whale. Really think we need a more interactive course catalog? Tell it to the Whale. While the WebRedo team has been hard at work all year on this project collecting info from across campus, the Whale helps Middlebury synthsize its requirements into a viable design and structure.
