eduWeb in 140 words – Streamlining Online and Print Catalog Publishing using a CMS by Eric Palmer, Director of Web Services at the University of Richmond

Note from Karine: This year, I’ve asked all the eduWeb speakers working in universities/colleges to share in 140 words or less the biggest take-away from their presentation or table talk. If you’ve attended this session, feel free to weigh in by posting a comment, a question or a suggestion.

Do you manage multiple school catalogs and have multiple web sites where that content must be published?

Using the right Content Management System and database multiple school catalogs can be managed in a single CMS and published to print, PDF and multiple web sites. Advanced searching can be enabled easily for the online catalogs and selective catalog content can be published where needed easily.

The University of Richmond has one catalog finished and has published it to PDF, Print and 60+ web sites and is enabling two graduate catalogs this summer as it moves to place its entire suite of catalogs into one repository.
