Does anyone have any suggestions as to where the library should or should
not compromise when it comes to using an institutional CMS rather than a
custom library one? We are going through this process right now. Our web
pages are currently all in static HTML and LibGuides. I am wanting to move
to
One of the recurring themes in the LibGuides thread was that libraries
need better policies regarding content and style management in guides. I
wholeheartedly agree here, but my attempts to do so in the past were shot
down in favor of giving all librarians maximum freedom.
I have two questions:
You could do something like what I did and run your own data backend and use
whatever you need to/have to to display content.

that doesn't mean some of the library's content can't be part of the main

That's an interesting idea. Do you run into performance issues with the
abundance of DOM updates with the javascript? Also, how much control do you
have over the content of library pages on the CMS?
