I don't know if you have seen the blog by the Librarian in Black, but it is something that I look at regularly. It has some great free resources and focused on libraries and librarians. This is a good for all information professionals, plus she has some great commentary and you can't beat free!
The recent post, 13 Ways (and 147 Tools) to Help Your Library Save Money on Technology, is a good list that is focused on technology. I had never heard of Drupal, a content management system, but I now have it on my list of things to investigate. I LOVE NEW TOOLS!
Let us know if there is a free tool that you use on a regular basis by adding a comment below.
Thanks for the link–this is a great list. My company is considering Drupal as an alternative to SharePoint, so I’m interested in hearing what you think about Drupal after you’ve checked it out.
Also, I’m hoping to find some freeware to build a knowledge base for our information specialists to access when responding to requests. Does anyone have any suggestions? Does anyone use Koha or Evergreen, and if so is it possible to integrate a knowledge base with them?
For general news and updates on goings-on in the library and information world, I’ve added Peter Scott’s Library Blog (http://xrefer.blogspot.com/) to my RSS feed. Peter consistently has interesting notes!
Jill – I know this is a public forum, but is there any specific concerns that would drive your company away from SharePoint? We are currently using the 2003 version but upgrading soon. It appears that the newer versions will have pretty advanced capabilities, but are you experiencing something different?
