Geek Support in the NIH Library - using Drupal for Awesome Results

Experience level: 
Beginner
Session Track: 

Business and Strategy

The purpose of this track is two-fold - one angle helps you to understand the advantages of Drupal from an organizational leadership angle and the other is to highlight the great Drupal sites and projects you're working on and to show what's possible. These sessions are business focused, and will be non-technical.

This session will describe how the NIH Library has been using Drupal to build awesome websites in support of science and research at NIH.  This includes a portfolio analysis site for Alzheimer's research (http://iadrp.nia.nih.gov), a Pain Research site (http://painresearch.nih.gov), a Pandemic Influenza Digital Archive (http://pida.nihlibrary.com) and an event page celebrating Pi Day at NIH (http://nihpiday.nih.gov).  The session will also discuss Drupal community building efforts being led by the library including user group meetings and plans for code/theme sharing across the campus.
