The CEAL Committee on Library Technology (CLT) is responsible for the
content of the main CEAL website pages (including pages of general interest
to all CEAL members such as Annual Meeting, Policies, Eastlib information,
How-to pages (see below), Guides to Research, Other East Asian Library
Groups, Job Postings, and East Asian Libraries in North America. For
these pages, CLT will maintain the links, and provide other necessary
updates to content and style.
CLT is not responsible for the content of CEAL committee pages or the pages
of other CEAL constituencies. However, the CEAL Committee on Library
Technology will act in an advisory capacity upon request to help those
responsible for constituent's pages with technical issues. CLT will
also create "how-to" guides as needed for best practices in creating and
maintaining CEAL web pages. Current how-to guides
are located here.
CEAL provides server space for the website of the interest group OCLC CJK
(see below).

The CLT chair is responsible for maintaining these folders, and providing FTP access on the server to the folders for each committee chair.
DOMAIN NAME
Since 2006, CEAL has paid an annual fee for the rights to the the domain
name "www.eastasianlib.org".
PERSISTENT UNIFORM RESOURCE LOCATORS (PURLs)
The CEAL Homepage URL is registered as a PURL. PURLs function as routers, allowing web pages
to move from one server to another without resulting in broken links on
other web pages or in personal "favorites" or "bookmarks." (for more
information on PURLs, see
http://purl.oclc.org/). The chair of CLT will be responsible for
ensuring that the registration of the CEAL homepage as a PURL is up-to-date.
The CEAL PURL is: http://purl.oclc.org/net/ceal.
FORMAT/STYLE
The CEAL logo and basic website
style was originated by

and basic style in future editions of the CEAL website. The Library
Technology Committee (in consultation with the CEAL Executive
Committee) is responsible for future changes to the style, arrangement, and
content of the of the CEAL website.
