  Subject: [WEB4LIB] Web content managers


  I've been lobbying my university IT group to provide us with an
  infrastructure that would allow us to have a database-driven Web
  site.  While I do have a personal favorite, at this point I'm willing
  to try any number of things, so long as it works.  ColdFusion, ASP,
  PHP, etc., are becoming quite common in the library world, and I'd be
  happy to have a go at any of them.  

  I've just learned that the university is considering entering into an
  agreement with a "Web content management" company.  Specifically, they
  are looking at Vignette, Interwoven, and BroadVision.  I don't have
  many details at the moment, and I don't know anything about these
  companies.  Has anybody in Web4Lib land looked into this type of
  provider?  What will the implications be for the library if the
  university goes this way?  I have a sinking feeling in my gut that
  this is not the best choice for us.  I don't have a whole lot of time
  to gather information, and I'm hoping some of you on this list can
  save me some time.

  Thanks a bunch for whatever information you can provide.

  Dan
