Drupal Comes to NORWELD

Thousands of people and organizations are using Drupal to power a variety of web sites, including community web portals, corporate web sites, social networking sites, personal web sites or blogs, and more.
NORWELD is working with a number of our regional libraries to develop Drupal web sites that will make it easier for libraries to maintain their content, while implementing more Library/Web 2.0 capabilities than ever before.

"My War"

NORWELD, in cooperation with six of its member libraries, has created a new "web exhibit" about World War II that's been excerpted from over 100 oral history interviews conducted in the region over the past year. "My War: Northwest Ohioans Remember World War II" brings local perspective to a subject that is being brought to renewed national prominence by a Ken Burns documentary, "The War."

The web exhibit covers subjects ranging from military training and combat to communications and censorship, life in the military, and the impact of the war on the home front. The clips are searchable by library where the interviews were shot as well as by subject.

The streaming video interviews can be found at www.norweld.lib.oh.us/
ohnarratives/mywar/ and are best viewed over a high speed Internet connection.
