Alamo City Information Drive-Thru
The News Research staff has
developed this site to be a prototype of a Newsroom INTRANET. The
Intranet gives access to shared resources to any
employee at a workstation which has Internet access and a Netscape browser.
We plan to use this intranet as a vehicle to provide the newsroom with information resources
and support. However, the Intranet could be used for other administrative communications.
We will be seeking your input during the coming months to grow the contents of the site.
The Newsroom homepage will act as the launching pad for the
new archive system for retrieving stories, and later, photos and graphics.
Searching Instructions and HELP screens will be available.
It will also include an up-to-date catalog of all books, magazines
and newspapers available in the newsroom.
Internet and online database resources will be highlighted. We will maintain links to the best the Web has to offer, and provide a way for you to share the great websites you discover with your colleagues. Information gathered for reporting projects, will be posted. Access will be provided to databases of local people and statistics.
The homepage is currently maintained outside the firewall of the Express-News
Online fileserver (and therefore could be seen by web explorers),
but will later migrate to our own inhouse platform.
When it is securely positioned in such a way that only Express-News employees
and no other external internet users can access it, we will be able to post home
phone numbers or other confidential information.
Alamo City Information Drive-Thru is only a temporary name for News Research's homepage. We will be looking for new, original name for this site. Start letting your imagination roam.
