Re: [IUG] Sites with Drupal

Said,
   One of the Regional systems that I work for is currently using 
drupal for their site.  I just set them up with a basic Drupal site, the 
project leader on their end did all the customization and data entry 
with a little consultation from me.  They are just using one of the 
readily available Drupal themes and standard modules.  They also have 
their individual branch libraries keep their own pages up to date, which 
means each page has it's own unique layout, but makes the whole thing 
very sustainable for them.

One of my favorite Drupal library sites is the Ann Arbor District 
Library, http://aadl.org.  They have written a drupal module that 
replaces the webpacpro as a frontend to the catalog, they call it the 
SOPAC, or Social Opac.

The Darien Public Library is going live with the next version of that 
drupal module on Sept 1st.

They are planning on releasing the module under the GPL license when 
they have a chance.  Oh, and it will support more than just III as the 
backend, so it wouldn't be a source of more lock in.

Here is screenshot of the SOPAC 2.0 account screen.
