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

[Ruth A. Kneale]

I'm not serving the same kind of audience you are, but 
we've spent the last year investigating CMSs and we chose 
and implemented Drupal.  (I'm actually giving a talk about 
it today at Internet Librarian!)  I'm not going to share 
all my experiences here, but if you're interested you can 
read them on my blog at 
http://desertlibrarian.blogspot.com/search/label/cms .

Drupal has had a steep learning curve for me, but I'm 
liking it a lot and very excited about what we're going to 
be able to do with it.  I do recommend cmsmatrix.org and 
opensourcecms.com for further investigation tools -
