Using Drupal to Gain Visibility with Annual Georgetown Web Site Survey

Presenter(s): 
Alan Smodic, Florida Coastal School of Law
Nathan DeGruchy, Florida Coastal School of Law

In 2009, law librarians from Yale Law School and the Georgetown University Law Center developed a rubric by which they attempted to identify the best law school home pages based exclusively on objective criteria. Most elements require no special design skills, sophisticated technology or significant expenses. Published by the GREEN BAG ALMANAC AND READER the report, “Top Law School Homepages” has been adopted by Florida Coastal School of Law to benchmark website effectiveness, identify best practices, and determine areas needing improvement on an ongoing basis.

This panel discussion, led by Coastal Law staff, will focus on the annual “Top Law School Homepages” report and how the school harmonizes its findings with Drupal, new and existing open source technologies, and its integrated marketing and communications strategies.
