Our new site is based on Drupal. What they would provide is indexing and search of a document library. It will support PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Text. The document library would be accessible by DUE staff and provides a way for us to archive and search documents on strategic projects/issues – examples: financial aid, curriculum changes, academic integrity, etc.<o:p></o:p></div><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; "> While the quote is reasonable, I am wondering if anyone had already done something like this at MIT that we could take repurpose.
