Experience:
Beginner The University of Illinois Graduate School of Library and Information Science (GSLIS) is a premier institution, consistently ranked as the #1 school in its field.
An amazing diversity of teaching and research goes on in the hallways of our school. Children’s librarianship and storytelling; social/community informatics; cataloging and classification; archives/preservation; data curation; digital humanities; geographic information systems; data modeling; music analysis; data mining; and more.
This vibrant institution deserved a website that reflects the depth and breadth of the school. A showpiece site for a showpiece school. A site that stitches together a collection of 100+ faculty members, 1000+ active students, and 10,000 alumni, into one community.
This session will present a case study of the redesign and launch of our new website: http://www.lis.illinois.edu/
Matt Cheney, GSLIS alumni and Managing Partner of San Francisco Drupal shop Chapter Three, was instrumental in encouraging the presentation of this case study.
Intended audience:
This session will be of most interest to site builders and communications managers who are involved in the site development process, within the context of higher education.
The session may also be of interest to those who need to migrate legacy content into Drupal, and to users of the Node Hierarchy module or others who are interested in learning how Drupal can be used (abused?) to create a traditional hierarchical website, albeit one that teems with structured content presented in the Drupal way.
