IT Network (ITNet)

ITNet is the email network for staff who are responsible for developing the use of ICT in local infrastructure organisations (LIOs). It provides a forum to:

  • share tips
  • ask for recommendations when buying equipment
  • discuss the advantages of particular software
  • comment on general news reports about ICT
  • promote ideas about the management of ICT
  • discuss how the internet will affect the way organisations work
  • suggest ways to enhance the use of ICT within the voluntary and community sector.

In different organisations the person with responsibility for ICT could be:

  • a dedicated internal ICT worker
  • a worker from a project which offers ICT support to local voluntary and community organisations
  • the chief officer
  • an information worker
  • an admin worker
  • anybody else with a particular interest in or aptitude for ICT.

Whoever it is, they are usually the only person responsible for ICT. They can feel isolated and that they lack support and have nobody to discuss ICT matters with. Sometimes they suffer from a lack of understanding about their role amongst colleagues, and they can feel that there is a lack of awareness about what could and should, be achievable.

The network is also open to voluntary and community organisations that work with, support and complement the work of LIOs.

You can find out more by going to the common questions and etiquette pages.

To join the network, or for further information, simply send a message to the network administrator at admin.itnet@navca.org.uk . Please include your name, your role and the organisation you are from.
