Rethink, Design, & Plan Your School Library's Virtual Presence

Your school library's virtual presence should enhance your physical library. It should be the place all of your school community members look to find the most up to date and relevant resources. It should be easy to find, navigate, use, & share. 

Activity: Answer the following questions related to your current school library website. Be prepared to share!

• What do you like about it?
• Is it an accurate reflection of your library program?
• How would you like to change or improve it? Pretend that you have all the time in the world to learn what you need to know and do implement it!

Some examples of places that you can create a school library website:

• Your school district's current system
• Google Sites
• Other free systems
• and last, but not least LibGuides!

Are you happy with the features, functionality, and usability of your current website content management system?

• A simple, WYSIWYG editor - don't need a lot of technical skills
• It's made specifically for libraries
• You can easily reuse your own content and content from other LibGuide users
• A ton of great support is available
