Drupal at Digital Library and Information Technology at Cornell University

  • How we chose Drupal
    • The committee that built the new (2008) main CUL web page evaluated several options and decided on Drupal
    • Many of us were working on the main CUL site redesign, gained experience with Drupal in the process, and saw that it was a good tool.
    • It made sense to develop/convert other web sites with the same tool.
    • We decided to stop supporting CommonSpot, and developed tools to migrate the CommonSpot sites to Drupal.
  • About Drupal
    • Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website.
    • Built in features include web based content management and administration, user authentication, role based permission system, SEO features, threaded comments, blogs, version control, content syndication, caching, and extension capabilities based on modules.
    • Community contributed modules include text editors, media handlers, SEO tools, online form handlers, date and calendar tools, javascript tools, user interface enhancements, surevy tools, shopping carts, anti-spam tools, and social engagement tools.
    • Drupal is open-source software distributed under the GPL ("GNU General Public License") and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers.
    • Awarded Best Open Source PHP CMS 2009- also Overall Winner 2008, 2007
