This free webinar is the third in an Open Source Series sponsored by
Infopeople, Califa, and the Open Source Library Consortium. The first two
webinars were presented by Lori Bowen Ayre and focused on Open Source
Library Systems (OSLS). They are archived can be seen at

Looking for a better way to manage your web site content? Want more advanced
functionality and/or social networking features? Drupal is an award-winning,
open source content management system being used by major corporations
worldwide and is now being widely adopted by the library community. Learn
more about the pros and cons of Drupal and how libraries are using it to
make their web presences more effective and efficient. Discover
library-specific add-ons (modules) that can make your new Drupal site even
more extensible. 

 

After viewing this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

 

.         Explain Drupal to other staff members 

.         Identify various pros and cons for using Drupal in a library
setting 

.         Be familiar with library-specific contributed modules for Drupal 

.         Identify features that are native to a core Drupal installation 

 

Join us for this introductory webinar on a new application for managing your
library's website content! 

 

Note: Later in the fiscal year, Infopeople plans to offer an in-depth online
course that will provide hands-on Drupal instruction. Watch the website or
CALIX for the announcement for this course.
