Abstract

SharePoint offers librarians the ability to program without coding. In other words, to customise a site... provided they can find the time! Lorette Weldon outlines the possibilities for librarians and, using the results of a survey, looks at integrating SharePoint with library management systems.

The problem with this implementation was that the web parts used were designed by the IT department from senior management's understanding of what SharePoint can do, without talking to the actual users (librarians and other staff).
