Description
When transitioning to a Drupal website, libraries are faced with endless opportunities to redesign through the vast possibilities of configurations and features offered by Drupal. Leveraging particular features, like Drupal’s Views, can help you: (a) avoid repeating the same content on different nodes, (b) break up long lists of links, and (c) achieve more organized content overall. Creating a View in Drupal allows you to filter, select, and display particular content in particular places. Once you realize the potential of this feature, it can change how you think about your website content and how you choose to display that content. In this intermediate session, we will look at leveraging Drupal Views in combination with Content types and Taxonomy (other structural components of Drupal) to create an engaging library website.
