LibrarianInBlack: Computers in Libraries 2008: Drupal in Libraries

Here's a great post from LibrarianInBlack about using Drupal in libraries. It's a topic I'm interested in since I just moved teenlibrarian.com onto another content management system, called Joomla. I love the idea of CMSs because your visitors can do things like create their own account, post comments, rate articles, and much more.

I tried out Drupal and liked it, but ultimately felt that Joomla was easier to configure and use.

There are many public and academic libraries using content management systems. I think more schools and districts will eventually use them as well. Another great feature is that the administrator can assign different levels of access to different users, so that some can add content. Right now, I designed and administer my school's web site, as well as the library site, so it's fairly static and only changes when someone asks me to make a change. I'd love to decentralize that structure and let teachers, administrators, and students add their own content, with appropriate levels of approval first.

Is anyone trying Drupal, Joomla, or another CMS for their school or library web site?
