[Web4lib] CMS (Content Management System)

[Robert L. Balliot]

Greetings,

I think this is an excellent point and a problem shared by many
administrators.  You can lead a person to a website interface, 
but you can't make them think.

I am not sure if it is actually an issue of training, rather
than motivation.  Many people are disinclined to write. The
ratio of lurkers to contributors on this list is about 100 to
one.

We started using Joomla a year ago at our small library
(www.jkmlibrary.org).  I have found it simple to use and versatile.  The
Joomla forums offer a decent level of support, and there are a
wide-variety of extensions and add-ons.  The only problem is that most
(all?) of the library staff other than myself seem intimidated by
anything web-related.  Thus, I still end up posting most of the content.
This may only demonstrate the need for more staff training.
