Are you wondering if Drupal is the right content management framework for
your library website? Have you already made the leap and need to learn some
best practices for managing a Drupal site? Our three-part workshop will
bring everyone up to speed.


We'll start by discussing:

   - How to evaluate the goals for your website project to choose the right
   platform.
   - Why Drupal is a great fit for library websites (and even some
   scenarios when it might not be).



Then we'll will dive deeper with tutorials on a couple Drupal modules:

   - Workbench: Get everyone on your team involved in the website without
   putting your content at risk.
   - Features: Taking Drupal site configuration management to the next
   level.



Finally, we'll end with a panel that will talk about their own Drupal
implementation experiences and address questions from the audience.

   - Kristian Allen UCLA Library Programmer – familiar with Drupal and
   Islandora
   - Elaine Blakeman USC Library Programmer – familiar with Drupal CMS
   because of pending Library redesign
   - Caroline Cube, UCLA Library Computing Resource Specialist  - familiar
   with Drupal as power editor because of completed UCLA Library redesign
