4/1/12 Finishing up the CSC assignment

Greetings!
The past week has flown by! I can hardly believe it's April already!  We've all been finishing up our assignments with the Clients, doing some last minute things in Phnom Penh, and saying our goodbyes to the Cambodia2 Team.

 Elke K. and myself have been working with the National University of Management ( NUM)  on their new e-library.  The picture above was after our final presentation to the Rector and staff at the University.   They are renovating a building for a new library this fall, so we've been helping with planning for the e-library webpage, e-links, hardware options, software options and card readers.  Many thanks to friends Frank and Dottie H. who are librarians in Rochester MN and have provided us with much advice!  It's been a really great assignment and I think it has really helped them lay the groundwork so the students can have better access to information.

It has been wonderful meeting and working with the IBM members of the Cambodia2 team. We are from 7 different countries.   We shared much learning and adventures together and it is an experience that I will never forget!  I hope to visit all of them in their home countries some day.  On Saturday across the day I bid everyone farewell as they departed for home or vacations.  It was hard to see everyone go, but on Saturday night my son, David, arrived  and we will stay in Cambodia for one more week.  I still have many wonderful pictures of the team and Cambodian sights, so I will try to share another couple blog entries this week.

Bye for now,
Mary
