A content management system (CMS) offers a way to manage large amounts of web-based information that escapes the burden of coding all of the information into each page in HTML by hand. content management systems are important to libraries because the sheer mass of their public web presence has reached the point where maintenance is a problem. Often the web pages grew out of the personal interests of staff members, who have since left for other jobs for other responsibilities or simply retired. These may not be mission-critical pages in the same sense as a library’s front page, but often they have a dedicated set of users who regard them as part of the library’s service mission.
