Jane Nichols, Oregon State University subject librarian, will demonstrate how to create course Web pages, assignment tip sheets and subject guides in minutes without writing a single line of HTML. This content management system makes it easy to integrate Web 2.0 features, chat and RSS feeds, etc. with traditional library content, such as catalogs and article databases, into Web pages. Kim Griggs, Oregon State University programmer, will discuss installing and customizing Library a la Carte and future developments.

Through focus groups and surveys we found that students wanted course-driven guides as well as subject guides. The question then became, how can we enable our librarians to provide those guides? After many setbacks and detours, user studies, and development decisions, OSU Librarians developed Library à la Carte. Library à la Carte is a content management system that gives librarians a menu of choices for creating and collaborating on course assignment pages and subject guides that integrate Web 2.0 features, such as chat and RSS feeds with traditional library content, such as catalogs and article databases. In keeping with a local spirit of open source development, OSU librarians made Library à la Carte available for other libraries to try, install, adapt and use. The decision to release open source software has costs, benefits and challenges, which will be addressed in this poster session. Additionally, the presenters will illustrate the journey from concept to product, including data from the most recent usability studies and student evaluation and assessment. There will also be a live demonstration of Library à la Carte.
