Unit 4: Drupal Impressions

I kind feel I am being unfair to Drupal. Our installation is straight out of the box with no customization at all. As is, it looks terrible! I would never choose it as a Digital Library & Archive solution if the best it could ever look is what we have up and running now. I have seen Drupal in action as a content management solution for a university website. I know at least when it comes to managing web content, it can function and look alot better than this. I have my doubts about its ability, at least without quite a significant amount of customization, to serve as a Digital Library & Archive solution. Several of the Drupal installations I have seen so far in exploring for this course have been working in tandem with ContentDM rather than relying solely on Drupal functionality. Some of my major concerns would be rights management and representation of archival hierarchy.
