The Concept
Great ideas around the world…
And never reach others who could benefit from them or replicate them…
Often remain isolated or “once offs”…

The Concept
To facilitate the exchange of recommended tools, materials and templates for outreach and informal education for particle physics and related sciences…Globally
![Page 6: IPPOG Database EPPCN & IPPOG Joint Session 4 November, 2011-CERN L. Mc Carthy](https://reader036.vdocuments.pub/reader036/viewer/2022062516/56649e0e5503460f94af8942/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

The Concept
Multiplier EffectIdeas flourish…recommended practices adapted to new needs and contexts
Convenient
Finally, a resource pool!

The Concept
Currently using the Doc DB to store items
– widely used by many HEP experiments to store documents to which multiple files can be associated
Why Doc DB?
Chosen for its flexibility Accepts many file types Can associate documents to each other Topics are up to us
Chosen for its powerful search

Contains just under 300 documents
…and associated files
Has a handful of external users
Items are (slowly) but steadily going in

Some Challenges to current system Lack of “reporting” capability No thumbnails No automatic file conversion Storage limit prohibitive No way to see how many hits No way to link contact person’s info with entries Interface not very attractive
Current Status

Now working with consultant recommended by CERN’s Communication Group: Linalis Consulting
Consultant will build basic structure of website using Drupal
Handover: Train us on how to use Drupal, to edit content & maintain site
CERN’s Education Group intern involved in this process
Have access to visiting teachers at CERN!
Future Plans
New IPPOG Website / Database Interface

Next Steps
1. Continue working with consultant to create website & new interface
2. Form IPPOG Working Group to
•Solicit more feedback from scientists, educators/science explainers & test new interface
•Give Database a good name!
•Launch website and interface
3. Encourage continued contribution and feedback on database
