Information about our site
The aim of the Library's website upgrade was to cover the institution's and library users' modern needs. To create this new Library site open source applications were used, which provide freedom of intervention according to the needs. In particular:
An open source platform was used as a base, Joomla (ex Mambo).
The installation uses Linux, Mysql and PHP, open source as well.
The new website provides a management environment, which allows the staff to renew the content, without having any particular computer knowledge.
It's also possible to install ready software parts to cover extra user needs (e.g. chat room, forum…).
All the Library electronic services are provided through it's webpages. Most of the documents are in *.pdf format and therefore, you should have the Adobe Readerinstalled in your PCs. The rest of the documents demand the use of the Microsoft PowerPoint software.
For the creation of the new website the following number of people cooperated:
Alvanoudi Noula: Librarian. Website's structure design, collection and writing of the texts, pages' updates.
Vozana Paraskevi: Librarian. Website's structure design, collection and writing of the texts, pages' updates.
Mavridis Marios: Computer scientist. Technical support, selection of software for supporting the website, graphic and image designs.
Banos Evaggelos: Computer scientist. Technical support, selection of software for supporting the website, graphic and image designs.
