[Web4lib] RE: [lita-l] CMS (Content Management System)

[Pons, Lisa (ponslm)]

this year, we purchased some server space from a hosting provider. At 75.00 or less a year, we can install and test different applications easily and securely.

Here is our "sandbox".

http://www.ulsandbox.org/

So far we have installed the applications listed for testing and try out.

PS: So far, we like drupal and are leaning toward it.

Subject: [lita-l] CMS (Content Management System)
 
Colleagues,

   This is a cross posting.

   Our library is considering implementing a CMS (Content Management System)
for managing our website.  We may end up using it for more things -
intranet, calendars, email (??)  We are a small to medium size public
library serving a community of about 20-24,000 people.  One CMS we are
considering is Drupal.

  I would appreciate any input regarding experiences, advantages,
disadvantages, opinions, etc. regarding CMS, which is best, etc.

  I would also appreciate any recommendations for books, websites, etc. on
the topic.

Thanks very much.

Sincerely,
Raumin "Ray" Dehghan
