2015 Funding Proposal - Loiuse Gruenberg is developing a proposal for an iterative OL database in Drupal, to be integrated with iMIS and ALA Connect. This would eliminate duplicative efforts of entering events into iMIS and the CMS. She asked what we would like to see in the proposal, and other visions for ALA OL. Louise will send a draft for OL group endorsement.
- Calendar that automatically populates from the database
- Solution to how to sell archived webinars without paying additional overhead
- Customers registering through iMIS would be directed to information just about the course, rather than the list they see now before registering (ActiveMatter issue)
- Course can show in member iMIS or Connect profile, with permission
- Staff can search by course within iMIS or Connect to find out who has expertise based on taking a course
- Integrating keycodes and coupons (though iMIS has function codes for pricing differences in events)
- Email blast marketing
- Tracking click-throughs
- Show the % of registrants on an event page, above a certain point, like 5%
- Waitlist
- Relate easily with Moodle, Adobe Connect, iLINC, WebEx
- Use events to set up ALA Connect groups
- Tagging ability for social media - each page in Drupal can be tagged - so participants can show and invite others to events
- Possible integration with Opportunities Exchange on ALA Connect
- Ability to reach non-members
- Relationship with new finance system
