Content management systems (CMS) within libraries are becoming more and more important as mechanisms for content and services to be provided in the digital environment. They allow for consistency in branding, look and feel, and the delivery of information; they also help to centralize input and maintenance of content and services by allowing multiple authors and creators to manage and edit their content without an intermediary, i.e. another staff person. In addition, CMS have the capability to produce test environments that assist libraries in exploring new tools, services, and presentation of content, without having to recreate these environments manually multiple times.

Content Management Systems in Libraries documents case studies related to two types of CMS implementations: those that manage content on library websites and those that manage digital content. This book brings together a number of case studies on current CMS implementations, using both open source and proprietary systems, and reflects on the current state and future of CMS in libraries.

Library Journal Review

The chapters in this book on content management systems (CMS) were first published in Library Hi Tech, Nos. 1-2, 2005. CMS separates web content from web design. CMS maintains consistent information management and web design throughout a web site and creates a modular approach to web site creation, information distribution, and maintenance while decentralizing content input. As many of the case studies in this volume state, CMS can bring about not only technological change but organizational change as well. These case studies outline the issues faced, from choosing the software-commercial, home-grown, or open source-to managing the implementation. The book will serve as a preliminary battle plan so as to use CMS principles when facing a web site redesign, with all the attendant technological, organizational, and political pitfalls. The CMS world is moving very fast, with commercial and open source solutions rapidly expanding. While not the latest information, these case studies will give you a good idea of what a CMS implementation entails.
