Drupal Done Right

Karen Coombs writes for Library Journal about libraries using the open source Drupal content management system in Drupal Done Right. In her article Coombs covers the SOPAC extension, the eXtensible Catalog, and initiatives at McMaster and Simon Fraser universities.

“From Arizona State University to Connecticut’s Darien Library, institutions of all shapes, sizes, and types use Drupal to manage their library web sites. However, some librarians have looked to Drupal as more than a tool for creating web sites. Some have attempted to bring more library systems and content to Drupal as a way to integrate library content in a single place. Others have seen Drupal as a flexible framework that can be used to integrate with other systems or create interactive tools for users. These organizations are stretching the bounds of what is possible with this open source tool.”

    Drupal is great. I’m glad more libraries are using it. Hopefully we’ll be able to create some really great library modules. . .
