Since it uses the MYSQL database management system, the open-source software suits the needs of library websites by aggregating a library's complete database inventory.  Rather than update several HTML pages within a site when new vendors are added or a URL is changed, information from vendors such as ExLibris can be maintained in a simple database and then delivered to a webpage.  The presentation highlights the use of some simple WordPress plugins to manage many aggregators and deliver a modern-looking library website.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">General Topics</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8601">2016-10-28</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference or Workshop Item</mods:genre></mods:mods>
