Drupal for Libraries Article in Library Journal

Posted by effulgentsia on February 1, 2010 at 9:20pm

I was interviewed for an article that got published today in Library Journal: http://www.libraryjournal.com/article/CA6716990.html. This was the first time I've been interviewed for an article about Drupal. I hope I represented Drupal and the Drupal community well. Please feel free to post feedback here, or contact me with it, which I will happily take into account in any future interviews or writings, if there are any. Much thanks to Karen Coombs for writing the article and to Library Journal for publishing it.

Nice Article

Drupal isn't being used by libraries in my area mostly, I assume, because of the learning curve. Your LJ article, and it sounds like Drupal 7, might help alleviate some of these librarians' fears. The more accessible Drupal becomes, the better. Your positive emphasis on the Drupal community should help, too. We do love our communities...

Install profile

We should definitely check out existing install profiles and see if one comes close to what libraries need... maybe then just change it and publish it.

This would greatly (IMO) lower the barriers to adoption.
