Book Description

Content Management Systems in Libraries: Case Studies brings together a number of case studies on current content management system (CMS) implementations, using both open-source and proprietary systems, and also reflects on the current state and future of CMS in libraries. There is presently no one source or research guide for CMS given that this area is in flux, yet this type of book is needed in the literature, as many libraries are just starting to implement CMS for their website, instructional content, or other institutional repository settings.

Book Description

Using database-driven web pages or web content management (WCM) systems to manage increasingly diverse web content and to streamline workflows is a commonly practiced solution recognized in libraries to-day. However, limited library web content management models and funding constraints prevent many libraries from purchasing commercially available WCM systems. And, the lack of much needed technical expertise in building in-house WCM systems presents a great challenge for libraries of all types. Content and Workflow Management for Library Websites: Case Studies provides practical and applicable web content management solutions through case studies. It contains successful database-to-web applications as employed in a variety of academic libraries. The applications vary in scope and cover a range of practical how-to-do-it examples from database-driven web development, locally created web content management systems, systems for distributing content management responsibilities, dynamic content delivery, to open source tools, such as MySQL and PHP to manage the content. Issues and challenges associated with the development process are discussed. Authors will also discuss detours, sand traps, and missteps necessary to a real learning process.
