Subject Guides - alternatives

[Teresa Coberly]

We are just starting with the open source product Subjects Plus.  I¡¯ve been very impressed so far.  Well written product with good support.

I agree with you Nina ¨C we have a DRAFT CMS built with our ILS Software. Not perfect at all but, definitely integrated with all our other resources and allows us to present content consistently to our staff and our users without having to worry about "interoperability" (did I spell that thing correctly??).

Always interested in other products to help me with additions to this in-house design of ours.

Hey, all,

While my preferred approach to this is an entire web site in a CMS with a guide as a content type--we have content in enough silos, and most CMSs are perfectly capable of displaying this type of information without additional tools or features--I know that's not possible for everyone.

That said, at my last academic library job, LibGuides was very easy to use and SpringShare provided excellent support.

We¡¯re currently in the process of moving to LibGuides (and writing a migration tool from LALC -> LibGuides.) That being said, the folks at LibraryH3lp have taken up further development of Library a la Carte ¨C it might be interesting to see what they come up with (http://libraryh3lp.blogspot.com/2013/06/library-la-carte-resurrected-open.html ).

Hi there,

We are currently using Library a la Carte and are looking for an alternative solution to create subject guides.

Any suggestions or recommendations are greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
Tanja
