You will definitely need it some day! My Cat Portal is on the prowl . By Amy Walker e Public Relations : Fi = My Cat, Westerns new online community, is pouncing onto the campus _ scene just in time for the 2005 fall semester. / Replacing CyberCat Pipeline, the My Cat portal is designed to engage the Western community through authenticated access to appropriate online services, personalized information, university communications and collaborative tools, said Jed Tate, Web Developer for Western and Project Manager for My Cat. Offering the same services as the previous CyberCat Pipeline with similar navigation tools, My Cat will bring its users increased ease of usability and more options for customization, Tate said. My Cat offers convenient access to Westerns online services and business information with a current university user identification and password and allows users to receive important university dates, deadlines and announcements. Users may also customize My Cat, choosing the additional news and information they want to receive. The new portal is the result of a joint effort by a variety of Western students, faculty and staff who have collaborated in conceptualizing and creating My Cat, said Erin Bradley, a Computer Information Systems major from Burke, VA, and one of the students working behind the scenes on the portal project. We wanted My Cat to be an application that is useful and friendly for all its users, said Bradley, who also works in Westerns Office of Web Management. The ability to customize the layout of My Cat makes the user feel as though they own a piece of this application and may drive more to use it. Many departments have set up Web logs (better known as blogs) for My Cat, and users can subscribe to those blogs to keep up-to-date on specific events or programs of interest, she said.
