Hi All, Our library has been working on transitioning our website to a Web Content Management system for several years running. Our basic desire is to provide a platform where designated people from the library's sections are able to update their own content without disrupting the sites overall look and feel. There are other features we're interested in, but that's the basic idea. It's been an on and off project, but it is now on again. We have thought about what staff and visitor experience should be after the transition. Internal discussion focused on open source content management systems In the process of working with our parent agency, we were encouraged to take a very close look at SharePoint 2007, which is our parent agency standard for creating collaborative websites. The parent agency has a SharePoint license we can use and has used it to build some specialized applications. Most of what I've found on SharePoint so far has been about building intranets. I'd really like to get in touch with people who have used SharePoint for their external site. If you or someone you know has created (or maintains) a library (or archives or Museum) site using SharePoint, would you send me contact information along with your general impressions of the difficulty of training staff to update their own pages in SharePoint? If this is a better question for the web4lib list, feel free to let me know. Thanks in advance for whatever assistance you can render. - Daniel ======================================= Daniel Cornwall Head of Technical and Imaging Services Division of Libraries, Archives and Museums PO Box 110571 Juneau, AK 99811-0571 Phone (907) 465-6332 Fax (907) 465-2665 E-Mail: [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> Web: http://lam.alaska.gov <http://lam.alaska.gov/> .
