Thanks all for your feedback!


We've really adopted Springshare products over the last few years, so I'm thinking switching from Drupal to Jekyll is the way to go.


Just throwing this out there, but this may also be an interesting topic to discuss for a panel presentation.


All the best,

Junior

UNT Libraries use Jekyll for our primary library domain ID as well as a handful of other smaller subdomains since 2019. Main site project builds/deploys via gitlab, content types live as submodules to the main project and a couple are shared between different projects (staff directory for instance). You can certainly get away with it for a lot of the slow-chruning content common to a library site (listings of services, policies, etc.), with some creative JS, esp. if you don’t have a lot of cooks stirring the pot. More the better if you have librarians who already offload some content into the springshare ecosystem. Security, speed, and the ability to iterate design with relatively low overhead are nice trade-offs for some of the disadvantages.

Hi code4Libbers,


After talking with a colleagues, I was just curious if anyone uses Jekyll as a CMS for their library/institutional website?


I'd be interested in your experiences.


Best,

Junior
