Hello Code4Lib, At Duke University Libraries, we are planning to design/develop a new staff directory application this spring. It seems like this would be a fairly common area of need, but there don't appear to be any widely-adopted solutions out there. So we're interested in learning more about what our peers (y'all) do to power their staff directories. For some added context, we use Drupal 7 for our website and a growing percentage of the applications we support use Ruby on Rails. We don't have much in-house experience with JS frameworks like Vue or React. Whatever we use to build the directory, it should be able to represent people (with photo, contact info, bio, etc.), display a browsable hierarchy of organizational units, and be widely discoverable and accessible. Does anyone have a solution they like for their staff directory? What tooling do you use and why? Any words of advice you could share? Many thanks, Sean ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sean Aery Digital Projects Developer Software Services Duke University Libraries 030U Bostock Library Box 90198 Durham, NC 27708 sean.aery_at_duke.edu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
