Library Catalog / Reference List Module?
genderwarrior - January 24, 2007 - 16:30
I run an academic website, and I am trying to figure out what the best way to set-up a searchable (by keyword) reference list. For example: I would like it if a user wants to see all articles related to youth, then they would just type "youth" into the search box, which would then return a list of all the articles where I have identified "youth" as a keyword. Alternatively, the user could go to a page with all the keywords listed and they could browse that way.
Suggestions?

Biblio
Ronald Jerome has developed a module called Biblio (http://drupal.org/node/111016) which I think fits what you are looking for. I have played with it on my Drupal 4.7.3 installation (see http://cms.softtester.org/drupal/biblio/). You can sort/filter by Year, Title, and Publication Type. There is a field for keywords for each reference entry which you then can use to search using the search function in Drupal. For example, I used the keyword "course management system" for one of my references - enter that keyword in the searchbox (click on Search on the upper right corner of my site) and you retrieve that reference.
I have yet to find a way to automatically make a browseable list of the keywords I have used. I'm in the process of upgrading my site to Drupal 5 and I'm happy to see Biblio already has a 5.0-compatible release.
That looks perfect - thank
