Welcome to Drupal 7 by  Matthew Lechleider (Open Source Evangelist
Extraordinaire)
A brief summary of what is new in Drupal 7. Focus will be on modules and
features librarians utilize. Starting with a fresh install, we will jump
straight into Drupal 7. Together we will add common modules and discuss
changes/updates. Also note available options for upgrading from Drupal 6
-> Drupal 7.
 
Don't Tread on Me by John Wohlers of the Wabaunsee Community College
This presentation will cover the basics of using the Flag Module to
offer your patrons the ability to customize their experience on your
library web site.  A demonstration of a customizable Research Database
list will be shown.
 
P.S.  I am willing to try streaming this meeting, but want to know if
their is interest before going to the trouble.  Please email me (off
list) to let me know if this is something that you would
watch/participate in online.
