There is a robust and growing community of libraries using Drupal, the 
open source content management platform, to create and manage library 
websites and services. In this 4-week course you will build a Drupal 
site from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience with Drupal core 
tools and concepts. We will pay special attention to Drupal features as 
they relate to the specific organizational needs of libraries and 
library web services.

This is an introductory level course, and though familiarity with HTML 
and CSS will be helpful, they are not required. Each student will get a 
free development account with a cloud-based Drupal service and will have 
continued access to their course website after the course finishes.

Learning outcomes:

- Ability to build a website in Drupal 7.
- Hands-on experience using Drupal core features: fields, nodes, 
modules, blocks, menus, users, and themes.
- Knowledge of Drupal in the context of designing and managing library 
websites.

Caleb Tucker-Raymond is a freelance web developer in Portland, Oregon 
specializing in connecting library systems to the Drupal content 
management system. Before that he worked as a public and academic 
librarian for 14 years in systems, reference, and the intersection of 
the two. He earned his MSLIS with Simmons College.

class does not meet together at any particular times, although the 
instructor may set up optional sychronous chat sessions. Instruction 
includes readings and assignments in one-week segments. Class 
participation is in an online forum environment.
