File management module or custom content type needed for managing "library" files

[tmitchell]

On the previous version of our website there was the "Documents and Files" section. Since we've migrated we haven't had that to manage various promotional or document files.

We could create a custom content type just for "library" items or we could find a robust file management module for Drupal to help handle this. If a module was available that could help list folders and contents easily, that would be preferred. Howver, it would have to allow us to add some custom fields for tagging the content.

This would be used by VisCom and by Education Committee for tracking document files or external document URLS.

Some basic fields for tracking library items are (from Michael Gerlek):

Citation index single-line text (required) Author(s) single-line text (required) Title single-line text (required) Conference/Collection single-line text (optional) Date date (optional) Description multi-line text (optional) Format(s) single-line text (required) Pages non-zero signed two-byte integer (optional) Creative Commons code <drop-down list?!> (required) URL url (optional)

Each of these library records will require the ability to have one or more optional attachments.
