2. The problems
⢠Information on the library website is maintained by a disparate group of people
with varying skill levels
⢠Library websites incorporate (or should) information from many different
systems
⢠Same information repeated several places throughout the library website
⢠Users want library information at their ďŹnger tips and where they are
⢠Library information should be integrated the curriculum
3. Traditional Solutions
⢠Use database-driven web pages
⢠Install a content management system
⢠Distribute responsibility for content creation and maintenance throughout the
library
⢠Make other library systems look as much like library site as possible
4. The Road not Taken
⢠Easy to use system; little Web
Services interference in content
creation
⢠Remixable blocks of content,
objects, metadata
⢠Ability to incorporate content
from other systems easily
⢠Website content easily sharable
with other systems
