Re: [CODE4LIB] Code4Lib North | Meetup!

[David Fiander]

Right now both weekends work for me.  I know that for me, and probably for
many others, the sooner the date is made firm, the easier it will be to make
sure that the chosen one *cough* will stay free for this.

Re: [CODE4LIB] A to Z lists

[Riley-Huff, Debra]

We built our A-Z list, Databases by Subject and Database Trials sets in
Drupal. It has worked out really well for us and we also have those lists
populate our subject guides through taxonomy.

If you are interested in how we built any of this let me know.
