METRO Hosts "Drupal In Libraries" Workshop

Drupal in the Libraries [340007]

Web 2.0 technologies promise to streamline your web management and provide your patrons with new ways to experience and connect with your library. In this two-day workshop we will explore Drupal, an open-source content management framework that provides the power and flexibility to transform your library's web presence. On day one we will initiate you into the world of Drupal , looking at how it is being used across a variety of libraries and participating in a fresh install of the system. You will then walk through customizing a site, adding functionality, managing users, and tackling other administrative tasks. On day two, we will work through the process of building a website using the pieces that Drupal provides and we will explore ways to enhance the user’s experience.
