http://groups.drupal.org/libraries Using Drupal to put libraries of all types on the Web en http://groups.drupal.org/node/23818 <p>I just wanted to quickly recap the Library BoF that took place at <a href="http://drupalcampcolorado.org" rel="nofollow">DrupalCamp Colorado</a> this past weekend. There were about 10 people interested in libraries and Drupal attending, spanning a variety of disciplines, including public, academic, and special libraries, vendors, and consultants.</p> <p>Discussion centered around the following:</p> <p><strong>Best modules for libraries.</strong> The idea of developing a best practice for libraries (by type) was discussed. Inevitably it seems that a general list of modules and practices for libraries will naturally occur in the community, especially as developers document their implementation process.</p> <p><strong>Input filters.</strong> There was some discussion comparing TinyMCE and Markdown modules. Markdown was mentioned as a simple way for users to enter information without using html. The language is similar but not the same as Mediawiki and has the advantage of being a pretty non-invasive way to format content.</p> <p><strong>Staff training.</strong> Everyone agreed that training in general is a large part of Drupal implementation, particularly regarding entering content and using the input filters. Workflow module was recommended to control content entry by allowing new content to go to a proofread/formatting state before publishing.</p> <p><strong>Book carousels.</strong> Several people shared their methods of implementing book carousels into library websites, including jCarousel Lite, a Bookteller widget, and Views Carousel/CCK, which can also use RSS Feeds.</p> <p><strong>Future Library BoFs.</strong> The group would like to meet on a semi-regular basis in Denver and would like to encourage all interested parties to attend. Everyone was encouraged to join the Libraries Drupal Group to plan this.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/23818#comments BoFs Libraries Libraries Wed, 01 Jul 2009 22:44:33 +0000 vfranklyn 23818 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/23322 <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/23322#comments Libraries Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:25:38 +0000 Cary Gordon 23322 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/23286 <p>Okay, this is going to be our get-together at ALA's Convention in Chicago!

It is currently used on approximately a 1000 installations (<a href="http://drupal.org/project/usage/biblio" rel="nofollow">and raising</a>). Its use in projects like <a href="http://sciencecollaboration.org/" rel="nofollow">The Science Collaboration Framework</a>, however is bound to increase its use even more.</p> <p>Currently the module is still using custom nodes with its own database tables instead of CCK nodes/fields. Because of this it has to implement and maintain it's own widgets, integration with CCK reduce redundancy in the Drupal contrib codebase.&nbsp; Lately several features from Biblio have been reimplemented in the CCK framework. Also several glue-modules emerged that seek to incorporate functionality that already works for CCK</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong><br /> * <a href="http://drupal.org/node/397332" rel="nofollow">Biblio issue: Conversion to CCK data model</a><br /> * <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/19472" rel="nofollow">Wiki: Roadmap for making Biblio use CCK nodes</a></p> <p><strong>Project schedule</strong><br /> * Convert fields into a cck (Share the exported fields with the community for verification, Integrate it with the module, share the code)<br /> * Implement field visibility setting<br /> * Create the views and search functions (need ideas)<br /> * Make the update path (need example database dumps from the community)<br /> * Port the import/export functionality<br /> * Make new example views</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> SoC 2009 Content Construction Kit (CCK) Libraries Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:20:55 +0000 Coornail 21615 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/21496 <p>I have been trying to shoehorn a specific form into drupal using cck and views, then date api with cck and views, and it just ain't working. :) What I am trying to do is track when issues of a magazine arrive. So I want fields for title and issue, and fields that can be filled in when the magazine arrives. I could do this with MySQL and PHP, but in this particular situation end user access would be easier if I could put it on a drupal site. Does anyone know of a module that might fill the bill?</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Carol</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/21496#comments date fields Florida Libraries Mon, 20 Apr 2009 01:04:37 +0000 beanworks 21496 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/21037 <p>Since implementing Drupal on our library website, I've spoken to a number of library Drupal programmers and seen many implementations of Drupal for library websites. Many of the implementations do the same things as one another but in different ways, which can cause module clashes and frustration for new Drupal users trying to maintain newly-transformed library websites. While all of these sites have needs unique to them, they also all have some basic needs in common that are unique to library sites. At DrupalCon DC, a discussion came up which, per Cary's helpful direction, I'm bringing in here to hear thoughts/opinions, ideas: What about creating a Libraries Distro of Drupal? Similar to the D5 DrupalEd but for libraries. This would basically be, as Cary put it, "a base set of modules that almost every library big and small will need." Some obvious needs that could be addressed include things like calendaring, wikis, a way to display new materials, etc. Cary also mentioned setting up a best practices base install profile with roles and content types.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/21037#comments distros How-tos Libraries Mon, 06 Apr 2009 19:08:27 +0000 kat3_drx 21037 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/20399 <p>We had a wonderful turnout of close to 20 librarians from all parts of the Chicagoland area.

We also had healthy contingents from Loyola, Oak Park Public, [the 3 people sitting next to Mikael?], and the ALA.</p> <p><strong>Module &amp; Technique Discussion</strong></p> <p>Questions or issues that came up included transferring a Wiki to Drupal, customizing Themes (in this case the Zen Theme), use of Panels and a short (and conflicted) demo on my part of CiviCRM.</p> <p><strong>Resources</strong></p> <p>I was happy to see that at least two other people had read or were reading the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/o/ASIN/0596515804" rel="nofollow">O'Reilly Drupal Book</a>. We agreed that it was very good. I added that it was very hands-on and that you really wanted to have a working copy of the CMS in front of you as you went through the chapters.</p> <p>Other resources that people recommended included, <a href="http://learnbythedrop.com/" rel="nofollow">Learn by the Drop</a>, <a href="http://si505.cms.si.umich.edu/" rel="nofollow">some of the instructional material</a> from UMich, and this interesting site <a href="http://bitnami.org/" rel="nofollow">bitnami.org</a> where you can download all the apps you need (Apache, PHP, MySQL, etc.) to get Drupal up and running locally.</p> <p><strong>ALA in July</strong></p> <p>We also discussed plans for ALA in July. We'll be meeting as part of the <em>LITA Drupal4Lib IG</em> meeting. People expressed an interest in hearing from a speaker who could discuss where Drupal is heading in the near future -- with the next release. Happily, we have a number of excellent Drupal Developers in the Chicagoland area who could talk on this subject.</p> <p><strong>Most Embarrassing Moment</strong></p> <p>In an attempt to show beginners how easy it is to set up Drupal using cPanel/Fantastico (just to play around and experiment with), I completely flubbed up, ending with one error after the other. So yes, I will be leaving town and changing my identity.

I was so wonderfully surprised by the number and variety of people who came. It really energized me as to ideas and activities we can do for using Drupal for library purposes in the Chicagoland area.</p> <p>Feel free to leave comments and hope to see everyone again!</p> <p><strong>Next Meeting(s)</strong></p> <p>We'll be getting together as part of the <em>LITA Drupal4Lib IG</em> meeting either on the Saturday (7/11) or Sunday (7/12), depending on conflicts, room availability etc. We then have a scheduled meeting in September at the downtown office of the MLS on September 25.</p> <p>Note: Mikael Jacobsen is also organizing meetings for NSLS.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/20399#comments Chicago Drupal4Lib Librarians Libraries Libraries Sat, 21 Mar 2009 20:09:56 +0000 leoklein@drupal.org 20399 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/20201 <p><em><strong>Event Page:</strong> <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/18820" title="http://groups.drupal.org/node/18820">http://groups.drupal.org/node/18820</a><br /> <strong>Date &amp; Time:</strong> March 20, 2009 (1:30p-4p)<br /> <strong>Location:</strong> DePaul Loop Campus, 1 E.

The code below doesn't do much error checking or anything. You'd likely want to edit the below to make it more robust. The one below checks a SOPAC 2 table to make sure that they have a verified library card associated with the account. This prevents normal drupal accounts that don't have a library card from accessing resources. If you use some other module to add cards to profiles you would want to use that field instead. You may also want to use SSL though I haven't checked how well EZProxy handles it for external script auth.

Jackson (10th fl., Rm# 10028), Chicago.</p> <p><strong>GOALS OF THE CHICAGOLAND DRUPAL4LIB BoF</strong></p> <p>The Chicagoland Drupal4Lib BoF will be an opportunity for librarians to get together and discuss how they use (or would like to use) Drupal in a library context. We'll ask people to present projects they're working on and we'll field questions on problems and approaches to implementing Drupal. All levels of knowledge from expert to n00b are welcome.</p> <p>Also, since we're the 'host' city for the ALA Convention in Chicago in July, we'll have an opportunity to think about what we might want to do for that.</p> <p>This Chicagoland Drupal4Lib BoF is a follow-up to our successful get-togethers last year at the Metropolitan Librarian System and at the wildly sold-out Chicago Drupal BarCamp in October.</p> <p><strong>CHICAGOLAND DRUPAL4LIB BoF - QUARTERLY BASIS</strong></p> <p>We'll be doing one of these on a quarterly basis -- or at least that's the intention. The people at DePaul have kindly made their location available for March; We'll be meeting at McCormick Place as part of ALA in July; After that we'll be meeting at the downtown offices of the Metropolitan Library System (MLS).</p> <p><strong>PARTICIPATION AND SUGGESTIONS</strong></p> <p>It goes without saying that your participation and suggestions are welcome. The format is free and open enough to accommodate a ton of different ideas and needs.</p> <p>Feel free to sign up below and either leave a comment or email me. And everyone start planning for an informative and rewarding event -- on 3/20!</p> <p>Hope to see you,</p> <p>Leo Klein<br /> ChicagoLibrarian.org</p> <p><strong>UPDATE: TRANSPORTATION</strong></p> <p>LINK TO: <a href="http://directory.depaul.edu/maps/loop.aspx" rel="nofollow">Driving instructions to DePaul's Loop Campus...</a></p> <p>There are a number of Parking Lots close to the DePaul Center (Jackson &amp; State).

If you are planning to customize a theme, there are several starter themes that will give you a basic layout along with many of the dreaded cross browser CSS fixes. Choosing one of these starter themes can still be daunting.</p> <p>Luckily I found a fantastic chart that compares the features of most of them.<br /> <img src="http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/3500/starterthemecharthm5.gif" border="0" alt="Starter Theme Comparison Chart" /></p> <p><a href="http://drupalstaging.com/starter-themes/starter-theme-comparison.html" title="http://drupalstaging.com/starter-themes/starter-theme-comparison.html">http://drupalstaging.com/starter-themes/starter-theme-comparison.html</a></p> <p>Also you can switch to any of the themes while on the website. This way you could see which one might work without having to install them yourself. Also you could use the Firefox plugin Firebug to poke around the elements.</p> <p>I highly suggest the Firebug plugin if you have never used it.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/18372#comments theming Themes Libraries Mon, 19 Jan 2009 14:46:22 +0000 mikeybenson 18372 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/17184 <p>This is a dev release.</p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/millennium" title="http://drupal.org/project/millennium">http://drupal.org/project/millennium</a></p> <p>I excised the personal contact info from the quoted email.</p> <p>-------- Original Message --------<br /> Subject: Drupal 6 version of Millennium module available for download<br /> From: Alejandro Garza Gonzalez<br /> Organization: Dirección de Biblioteca, Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Monterrey<br /> To: <a href="mailto:NGC4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU">NGC4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU</a></p> <p>Just a quick note...</p> <p>The development version (e.g. "still changing") of the Millennium<br /> integration module for Drupal 6 is now out.</p> <p><a href="http://drupal.org/project/millennium" title="http://drupal.org/project/millennium">http://drupal.org/project/millennium</a></p> <p>This module imports bibliographic information from the Millennium<br /> WebOpac (library catalog) and generates Drupal pages which include<br /> real-time holdings information.</p> <p>The module was already available for Drupal 5, but some told me they<br /> were meaning to use or already using Drupal 6 in their institutions.<br /> Enjoy! =)</p> <p>Module Features</p> <ul> <li>auto-crawl or manual import of items with each cron run</li> <li>support for external book jacket image services</li> <li>imports Library of Congress book description and Table of Contents<br /> along with item, available for searching</li> <li>choose between real-time holdings information or just a link to<br /> the original item in your WebOpac</li> <li>maps MARC fields to taxonomy vocabularies for navigation and RSS</li> <li>Google Books links for items available online</li> </ul> <p>We are currently using the Drupal 5 version of the module at our<br /> Library, which is also using Apache Solr.

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.</p> <p>Instructor: Brian Mayer</p> <p>Location:<br /> Metropolitan New York Library Council<br /> 57 East 11th Street<br /> New York, NY 10003<br /> 212-228-2320</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/15483#comments Libraries Wed, 01 Oct 2008 16:16:24 +0000 Cary Gordon 15483 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/15353 <p>John Blyberg has released the first public beta of <a href="http://www.thesocialopac.net" rel="nofollow">SOPAC2</a>, the social catalog system for Drupal that he started at Ann Arbor District Library and has continued to develop for the newly launched <a href="http://www.darienlibrary.org/catalog" rel="nofollow">Darien Public Library catalog</a>. SOPAC2 consists of three components, Locum -- a catalog abstraction layer, Insurge -- a service for managing social interaction, and SOPAC2 itself, which is the Drupal module that ties it all together. Of course, a less Drupal-centric evaluator might say tha Locum ties it together and SOPAC2 connects it to Drupal.</p> <p>As an abstraction layer, Locum also uses connectors to communicate with the catalog, and at this juncture, only a Millennium connector has been created.</p> <p>The software comes with caveats about its beta status. While this is fine at Darien, it might be (and should be) a production blocker for those libraries where Mr. Blyberg is not employed, as he warns that the database structure will change in the next release.</p> <p><a href="http://www.thesocialopac.net" title="http://www.thesocialopac.net">http://www.thesocialopac.net</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/15353#comments Library Libraries OPAC ILS Libraries Fri, 26 Sep 2008 17:00:58 +0000 Cary Gordon 15353 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/15211 <p>Just a preliminary head's up that we'll be having a <strong>Library Drupal BoF</strong> as part of the <em>Chicago Drupal Camp</em> taking place at UIC on Friday &amp; Saturday, Oct. 24 &amp; 25.</p> <p>They're still working on the program, but the Library BoF will be on Friday (10/24) in the early afternoon (probably starting at 2pm or 3pm).

I already have what I think are too many content types. Seems like the content types should be generalized and less descriptive so I can reuse them whenever I want. What is the best way to keep Content Types simple/easy-to-use while maintaining reusability?</p> <p>BTW, I'm using Views to create custom queries for page display.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12816#comments Libraries Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:49:40 +0000 sdavis 12816 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12748 <p>Hey,</p> <p>I'm a computer programming student working at a local library for the summer. I was asked to build an intranet website using Drupal, and I've hit a bit of a snag when it comes to the authentication.</p> <p>They've asked me to set up a Single Sign-On system, wherein employees that log into their staff stations are automatically logged in to the staff intranet website. I've learned from the IT workers (the library outsources their IT to another company) that the authentication is done using a Domain Controller. The server runs on Apache, not sure of the OS at this point. (I think it might be linux...) We're on Drupal 5.7.</p> <p>Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing? What steps did you take?</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12748#comments domain controller single sign on Libraries Thu, 26 Jun 2008 20:18:33 +0000 tleeson 12748 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12718 <p>Hi there,</p> <p>I'm not a librarian.</p> <p>But I think that a library type of site is pretty close to what I'm after.</p> <p>I subscribe to a magasine that has session plans in it and I'm investigating setting up a searchable index of those resource online.</p> <p>Basicaly I want to store, for each session plan:: Year, Month, Page, Session Title, Session Type, Author, then half a dozen or so keywords.</p> <p>So that a user can search for: "I want a film based session that deals with violence" or "a music based session that looks at identity" etc. - and the website will return the Year, Month and Title and page number of a session plan.</p> <p>Does anyone know of a tutorial for setting up this kind of a website using Drupal?</p> <p>Cheers</p> <p>David</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/12718#comments Libraries Wed, 25 Jun 2008 21:05:45 +0000 davidjeanneret@drupal.org 12718 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/12539 <p>For my fellow NOOBS, here's a quick (~9 mins) introduction to the Views modules in Drupal 6.

We are a small corporate library in the biotech space. I've put together some thoughts on what I'd like to see and would appreciate your criticism. I've been researching the catalog workflow (user and admin), but I could easily have missed something along the way. I'm also not a Drupal guru yet - though I am a big fan and have created several websites with it. Any comments or suggestions regarding the ideas in the blog article would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><a href="http://williamhayes.org/blog/?p=13" rel="nofollow">Corporate Library Catalog Design Proposal</a></p> <p>We are currently using Drupal for our library website and an RSS item database (for non-RSS enabled alert sources).

Whether you're a newbie or pro is fine. Everyone is welcome. I'll see if I can dig up a projector so people can do brief presentations of their projects.</p> <p>Please leave comments and suggestions.</p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/drupal-research-and-academia">Research and academia</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/11861#comments Drupal in Education Libraries Research and academia Thu, 29 May 2008 21:50:12 +0000 leoklein@drupal.org 11861 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11848 <p>We're a 33-branch public library in Ottawa gradually getting up to speed on Drupal. (Extremely early sandbox stage, let's say.) We have a pressing, and as yet unmet, need for handling event registrations at all of those branches. Our requirements include, among other things, allowing signups for a recurring class with multiple dates (i.e. one registration for all sessions), adding a waiting list, being able to globally start all registrations on a specific date, and being able to cancel a session and send an email to all participants. From looking at the Event Manager and Signup modules (are there others?), we would need to undertake, or commission, a wholesale rewrite of those modules to get what we need.</p> <p>Event management is an important item for many libraries. Has anyone implemented event management specifically for libraries in Drupal using one of these modules or another? Is anyone out there thinking along a similar line? Can you share the requirements you've met with code, or that you have and, like us, haven't met yet?</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Devin Crawley<br /> Virtual Library Services Librarian<br /> Ottawa Public Library/Bibliothèque publique d'Ottawa<br /> 101 Centrepointe Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K2G 5K7<br /> Phone: 613-580-2424 X41494<br /> devin.crawley@BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/<br /> <a href="http://www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/" title="http://www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/">http://www.BiblioOttawaLibrary.ca/</a></p> <div class="og_rss_groups"><a href="/libraries">Libraries</a></div> http://groups.drupal.org/node/11848#comments public libraries event management module customization Libraries Thu, 29 May 2008 19:14:38 +0000 crawleyde 11848 at http://groups.drupal.org http://groups.drupal.org/node/11766 <p>Columbus Metropolitan Library (Columbus, OH) is starting down the road of Drupal - any words of wisdom?
