Libraries

Hi everyone, Please help!

I'm just getting started entering content into my first Drupal 6 site and I am struggling with how to keep all the content organized and reusable. 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?

BTW, I'm using Views to create custom queries for page display.

Hi there,

I'm not a librarian.

But I think that a library type of site is pretty close to what I'm after.

I subscribe to a magasine that has session plans in it and I'm investigating setting up a searchable index of those resource online.

Basicaly I want to store, for each session plan:: Year, Month, Page, Session Title, Session Type, Author, then half a dozen or so keywords.

Hi all,

I'm looking at re-vamping our library catalog and going with something more social and lighter-weight. 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.

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.

I would like to know if anybody implemented a lend modules for a library?

Thank you

A couple of people have written me about the Drupal4Lib BoF at ALA Anaheim.

Basically the idea is for people to get together informally to talk about how they've implemented Drupal or (equally as important) how they would like to implement Drupal.

People could talk briefly about projects they've been involved with, etc. The model is kind of like a 'Meetup'. I figure an hour and a half get-together would be fine.

Now to the tricky bit: Time & Place?
