Libraries

School Websites I like! http://gdlmc.wikispaces.com/home - Not finished, but I can see its potential
 * I really like how bright and colorful the home page is. He is also uses humor and is clever in each of his links to other pages. He even made a Glogster for the different online and subscription databases.
 * I liked how they included everyone in the building, including physical education (not yet created), music and art. Although I understand that this site is far from done, I would def. like to bring in links to every class and curriculum from each grade level.

 * Under the "For Teachers" section, I really like the idea of using a Google Form as a way for teachers to ask for materials!
 * I also like the pathfinders section. Even though I would have organized it by date, I can see it easily being found by students.
 * This wikispaces site was connected with another blog site (http://troylib.wikispaces.com/Home), which also links to teacher projects. I wonder why it wasn't all combined into one space?

http://media-in-the-middle.wikispaces.com/home - First... I think everyone should read the Glog section where they explain why they call their website "media in the middle."
 * This is, I think, my favorite website I've seen so far. It's simple, informative, and organized. I especially like the student's book request form (as I've seen in other sites). This one, in particular, I like because they can select a simple genre.
 * Their animoto library video was well done, too. I like that idea because it gives the library a face to patrons and citizens with pictures and information!
 * Interesting note: they have a section for VHS tapes, explaining how to hook up a VCR player that they might rent to play it. Has it really been that long that people don't know how to do that anymore? :)
