library

Hiya. Do you have suggestions for storing and presenting opening hours in Drupal 7? This is quite a mundane and universal problem, so i'm absolutely sure this has been solved in many ways. There is the Opening Hours -module, which isn't available for D7 at this time though. The Danish ting.DING uses Office Hours, and present this information very well (see the Aarhus libraries f.ex.) in a list, on a map and for individual libraries.

Hi, nice to meet you all ...

I have to build a digital library with ecommerce functionalities for an important publishing company in Italy ...
After assessing other carts (Magento, Cs-Cart, ecc.) trying to find something standardized and pre-done, I realized that DRUPAL is the only tool that will meet the specific properties of the library (mainly pubblications - articles - authors 1-n & n-n relationships).
This will mean more customization work, but I'm happy anyway because I'm loving the features and capabilities of Drupal.

Hello all. Is anybody reading this working with Axiell -products? Axiell is a major library system vendor here in the Nordic countries, especially for public libraries... their products (PallasPro and Origo) serve about 80% of the population of Finland, and also many in Sweden, Denmark and Norway too. It's a bit of a monopoly -situation here in Finland to be honest :\

Hello, I started building a digital library in Drupal for a digital library class. So far I've run into what seems like unending stumbling blocks. I'm using a Dublin Core module that relies on XC to create my metadata fields. However, now I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to create an individual gallery display with thumbnail navigation.

Has anyone here ever created a digital library in Drupal? Do you have any tips, what modules you used, etc.?

Thanks!

Does anyone know of anything Drupal happening before, during, or after PLA in Portland this spring (March 22-27)? I'd love to get together with other librarians to talk about all things Drupal. I'm launching our website on January 1 (http://kinderhooklibrary.org) and our library system is thinking about switching their site over as well.

Greetings Drupal users,

I attended a Library technology Conference in Canada over 2 days. The conference is dubbed “Access” 2009 conference – a library technology conference focused on access issues and the technologies that provide access to information. From that conference, I realized that there are so many Canadian libraries using Drupal and doing really cool stuff with it.

I happen to be the chair of the Library and Information Association of Jamaica. We want to update our Website: http://www.liaja.org.jm/ using Drupal.

I was wondering if anyone had any experience building something for automating readers advisory. My librarians are calling it "read-a-likes." The idea is that there is a list of authors. Each author would link to their page with links to other similar authors. You can see the example below.

If you like David Baldacci, then try:

William Bernhardt
Stephen J. Cannell
Linda Fairstein
Vince Flynn
James Grippando
John Grisham
Brad Meltzer
Kyle Mills
Robert Tanenbaum
Stuart Woods (Will Lee Series)

A further example can be found here.

Hello all. My apologies if this question belongs in a more entry-level group (let me know if you recommend one.)

The question: The site I'm building will need to have a strong ability to present files for download by users. The out-of-the-box drupal has the Uploads module, which allows us to place files onto the site. However, there is no functionality for the uploader to include metadata for the file like name, author, date, keywords, etc.

-- What is the most established/respected/good module that will allow uploads to have metadata?
