The library page is not user friendly and it is difficult and time consuming to add video and other features to the page. It basically consists of a bland calendar and an information area with links to other websites, such as databases. I am going to try and create a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Netvibes</span> page and see if I can create a link for students to use on the school's library web page. The school district blocks Twitter, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Facebook</span>, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Flickr</span>, etc., so it will be interesting to see if <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">Netvibes</span> will survive. I would like to have a section for Library Programs and Events, New Books, and Favorite Books (possibly by grade level). I can think of dozens of other things to add as well. The web sites I viewed in this section were very colorful and attractive which would greatly appeal to our high school students. I plan to reread the article by Michale Stephens, "Creating a Librarian's <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_4" class="blsp-spelling-error">InfoPortal</span>...." to help steer me through the process.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2751809500808053415-2792507567212978466?l=tigerlibrary.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>South Texas Librarianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08583103214578992067noreply@blogger.com0
