A content management system assists in organization, control, and publication of a variety of media. During submission and approval of an article for web publishing there may be multiple copies circulating between editors, making it difficult to keep track of changes. Automating the submission, routing, and approval processes, and managing the soft copies and associated media can help alleviate the problem. A prototype web-based content management system was designed and implemented based on specifications from a professor in the journalism program, for Unbound, the online magazine at our College. We will extend its functionality to provide a user-friendly interface and a secure uploading system that works with the College's firewall. We will also address the compromises that are being made, particularly within smaller colleges, to find a balance between exploring interesting research avenues and the information security constraints of the College.
