Everyone,
Thank you so much for the volume and helpfulness of the replies. There are
so many individual talking points in them! But, if I were to summarize, it
seems that there is agreement that library website liberty is the ideal.
Libguides 2.0 is certainly a possibility. I tried setting up the

Hi Junior,
We have been hosting library sites for 14 years and Drupal sites for over 7

stories underground in an LA bank vault (really) and executed a plan that was
four years in the making and moved everything to AWS. We
Hi Brad,
When first starting working, our library web server was on a shared Windows IIS
server with several other departments, which prevented us from using a CMS due
to security concerns. The initial site was a static set of pages, so we
couldn't install PHP, MySQL, etc.

Right now we have our own server, although we plan to make some changes in
the future. I anticipate moving our client-side stuff into LibGuides CMS
and our apps and server-side stuff over to a non-campus hosted linux
environment. Part of the reason we have our own server is because of

Hello,
I've worked for four different colleges and two of them used Sharepoint and
allowed one person from each department to have minimal editing privileges.
Those edits had to be approved before being published. We were allowed server

Hi Brad,
My current workplace is set up in the campus CMS, Umbraco. It is very
limiting in what we can do (can't use widgets without permission), and
time-consuming to make edits. Apparently the state purchased another CMS,
and no other options will be available. I can't speak for what the new CMS
