[Web4lib] Intranet revamp

[Casey Bisson]

Paula,

We gave up on our intranet a while ago, as we learned there was really  
no web-based information we wanted to share that we couldn't also  
share with the public. We do use Google Docs and a shared fileserver,  
but most of our content is on our website using Scriblio:

http://library.plymouth.edu/

And when you search, it returns results from both the site and the  
catalog -- especially useful for course and subject guides. Our  
licensed databases are linked there too, and users are prompted for  
their university username and password when they click on them.
