Madison-Jefferson County Public Library website

The Madison-Jefferson County Public Library website was held captive. The site was written on software only one staff member understood. The Windows server was not FTP enabled. It was updated only once a month directly via the server. We needed to create a dynamic site that could be edited by multiple staff members from anywhere in the world.

I turned to the graceful Textpattern content management system that allowed me to create custom sections for the different departments in our library.

We have been able to leverage the new mjcpl.org web space us to create a lively young adult section and one of Indiana’s top digital history collections.

Since it’s creation, website traffic has more than doubled and won ALA conference recognition in 2006.
