Corinna, I would like to recommend to you what I suggest to every librarian working with a Drupal site: 1) Join the drupal4lib mailing list < http://listserv.uic.edu/archives/drupal4lib.html>; and 2) Join the Libraries Drupal group <https://groups.drupal.org/libraries>. The mailing list is a great place to get questions answered and compare notes, while the group is the most frequently used source for discovering who is using Drupal and what library specific modules exist.
