<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>We are using SharePoint Services 2007, and
it has been really nice. I can’t even imagine comparing it to the
version you are running. It is certainly not the only option, but you
will most likely really appreciate the level they have taken it to in
2007. I have not looked closely at 2010 yet. Since it is free with
a server license, and you could potentially get a cheap MS Sever license from
TechSoup, it could be competitive with other products. You could also
build it out on MS SQL Server, which can also be licensed through
TechSoup. We also have libraries using Drupal and WordPress for their
internal communication and sharing, and then we use SharePoint for
inter-library communication within our consortium. We have used Drupal
here and there in the past for various inter-library tasks also, and we are
looking at Drupal for Internet development, along with Microsoft’s
Expression Studio. We most likely will remain a mixed Microsoft &
Linux web shop. Hope that is helpful, and good luck with your
planning. PD</span></font></p>

have been using Windows SharePoint Services here at Coshocton Public Library
for about 7 years. I believe it is version 1 and it is the free
version. The server it is installed on is about 10 years old, and I will
be replacing it this year. Even though we have had a good experience with
WSS, I am open to something different.<br>
<br>
Are any of you using Intranet software at your libraries? Are there any
other feature rich, stable, and staff friendly software options available that
you can recommend?<br>
