Library Website Please

By looking through at that sample library websites and my fellow classmates websites I can see the benefits of having one in my future library.  In my discussion this week I discussed the importance of having a website and what I think should be on it.  I also discussed how it would provide better access to the library.

Discussion:
I believe that the creation of a library webpage is a very important aspect of a successful library. By going through the websites in this discussion and looking through the website of my own school I can see the benefits for students, staff, and parents of having a library website. A library website can provide access to the online resources provided by the district, access to the library catalog online through the You See More on the LS2 system, and activities and events that are coming up in the library.

The webpage for the library is fairly basic it has an outdated Bookfest page and some basic library information. If I had the chance to develop a website/blog for the library I would without hesitation. Having the chance this term to create my own blog and website has demonstrated to me that creating and maintaining a site would be something easy to do. It wouldn’t take long to create and updating could be done weekly or even monthly. Creating an enriching and attractive website would provide tools and information for all library patrons.
