MCS web page
My system’s web page includes a school calendar, quick links to events, newcomer info, school locator, i-parent, performance tracker, and a host of others. There are links to parent and student resource pages, and the cover page contains articles pertaining to system news. It is a very nice site. Additionally, it contains links to all of the school’s individual pages. Our school’s web site has less stuff but is still pretty. The page links are well defined and easy to follow. Maintenance must be done regularly because the page is kept current. I am not sure who has the responsibility of maintaining it. It includes links to the media center, teacher classrooms, academics and athletics, clubs and organizations and happenings on campus. The media center’s page is real basic, providing info on staff, hours and procedures. I believe it would be improved by adding some color and some images. It wouldn’t be too busy because it needs to easy to navigate in. I would include a list of new acquisitions, tips for parents to help improve their kids’ reading skills, book lists such as “If you enjoyed this title you may want to read…..” Cobb County Public Library has a good web page. I would definitely check out theirs and other web pages for juicy ideas. Paul

V, I totally dig your idea of opening the media center during open house. It seems like a no- brainer. You also gave me another idea. I would make the default page on the client computers the media center’s page. Currently they go to the system’s page. Cobb County Library’s CobbCat is excellent! That’s what I have in mind. I don’t know about your other idea, though. I don’t think anybody would come up to the school to use our media center when there are some many convenient branches of the public library. The county branches have a much larger selection from which to choose and many more patron computers for surfing the catalogue and the web. Paul
