Content Management System for web/intranet

[ward smith]

I acknowledge the prevalence of drupal and wordpress (and let's not  
forget concrete5) in the library community. however, if you are  
interested and/or need actual content modeling and want loose coupling  
between your content model and presentation -- and if you want a  
template model that is flexible, expandible, and is easily manageable,  
i would suggest that you try out expressionengine.

i am a librarian too, "Free Open Source" is great and I am an advocate  
of it, but human time and staff committment and capabiltiy is a cost  
as well, and has to be factored into any choice.

. Best, Ward Smith
