[Web4lib] Advice and help with Drupal?

[Rachel Vacek]

There is going to be a session at ALA Annual that may be of interest:

Building the next generation public library web site with Drupal
Speakers: John Blyberg, Ann Arbor District Library

In 2005, Ann Arbor District Library unveiled it's "3.0" website.  It's
use of blogs, interactive commenting, and other "Web 2.0" functionality
has earned it considerable national attention.  The software behind the
site is the open-source Drupal CMS.  John Blyberg will discuss AADL's
decision to use Drupal and will show how Drupal can be both a powerful
CMS and agile development tool, and will address the benefits of
open-source projects by illustrating its impact on AADL's development
program.

Sunday, June 24th, 10:30 am - Noon 
(room location unknown at this time)

If you have questions about this upcoming program, please direct them to
John Rutherford, Purdy Kresge Library, Wayne State University
(aw8721 at wayne.edu). He's the chair of the LITA Open Source Systems
Interest Group who is sponsoring this program.

Hi Ruth,

You may want to check out http://drupalib.interoperating.info/, where a
number of people who do use drupal for a variety of library-related
purposes may be able to respond to specific questions.

That said, the greatest general resource for problem solving with drupal
is the forums at http://drupal.org/ .
