There is a robust and growing community of libraries using Drupal, the open source content management platform, to create and manage library websites and services. In this 4-week course you will build a Drupal site from the ground up, gaining hands-on experience with Drupal core tools and concepts. We will pay special attention to Drupal features as they relate to the specific organizational needs of libraries and library web services.
This is an introductory level course, and though familiarity with HTML and CSS will be helpful, they are not required. Each student will get a free development account with a cloud-based Drupal service and will have continued access to their course website after the course finishes.
Learning outcomes:
Ability to build a website in Drupal 7.
Hands-on experience using Drupal core features: fields, nodes, modules, blocks, menus, users, and themes.
Knowledge of Drupal in the context of designing and managing library websites.
