drupalib A place for library drupallers to hang out

After years of pages piling up until we had a site lacking a solid structure, so I started redesigning the site. Somehow in the middle of the redesign I discovered Drupal. I scrapped almost everything that I had done- months of work. I was using Dreamweaver at the time with templates and library items. What I wanted was a site with a database back end, maybe even users that could submit content. I just didn't have time to develop that kind of site from scratch though.

If your library is like ours, staff can get spread pretty thin. Out of the box, sort of speak, Drupal did every core thing that I wanted without me having to do a bit of programming. I just had to figure out how to "drupal" if you could describe it as a verb. Drupal even did a little more than what I had hoped. After about three months I had installed the modules that I wanted and created new structure based around age groups. After the initial setup and learning curve I now I have a site with a database back end, users, RSS feeds and a slew of extras that I never thought I would be able to do given the time that I had to spare at work. I couldn't be happier with our library Drupal site.
