[OPLINLIST] Intranets and centralized calendars

[Kara Reuter]

Hi Christopher,

Earlier this year we migrated our homegrown ColdFusion-based Intranet to Drupal (which we also use for our public website).  Drupal includes the tools we need to offer most of the features you mention, including a bulletin board system with commenting capability, spaces for departments and workgroups to post documents and a staff directory.  We use Evanced Events and Room Reserve to manage our public and internal calendar and our room reservations.  Our Intranet pulls in events from Evanced to display a centralized calendar and also links over to Evanced for staff to manage events and reservations.

Hope this is helpful!

Kara

Subject: [OPLINLIST] Intranets and centralized calendars

Hello everyone,

I want to start a discussion about Intranets in the library.

Are there any libraries who use an Intranet to communicate, store documents, run centralize calendars, and schedulers for library employees to use internally?

Logic dictates that setting up an Intranet, to centralize communication, would be a Cost-effective way to increase workforce productivity and enhance collaboration between employees.  The tools I have right now to start the configuration process of setting up an internal Intranet will be a Windows 2003 server running Internet Information Services 6.0.  Is there anyone out there with experience setting up an Intranet up who would like to share their ideas and experience?  This does not have to be technical, just basic ideas.

I would also like to get any input on any other tools anyone has used to provide Group/Shared Calendars, internal message or chat boards and a centralized Reminder system used for meetings etc.

Thanks in advance,
