Here at UCD Dublin the University has begun work on introducing a Content
Management System to create and maintain the University web presence.
The extensive Library web site will need to be re-thought to suit a CMS
system (and to fit into a range of portal channels, which is another
project running alongside. We are interested in making contact with any
large University Library that has been through the process of migrating to
a CMS system a Library web site of considerable size.
We are interested particularly in how you managed the project, how you
coped with the completely different concepts underlying a CMS, the extent
to which you have utilised the potential of a CMS to create numerous
filtered views of the data, the extent to which you are tied down with
regard to design and layout, the extent to which you are limited to a
WYSIWYG editor, how much local technical skill you still require to run
the site.
All information will be of interest, we would perhaps wish to make a day
visit later in the year as well.
Thanks in advance
