I have been thinking lately about the best way we can stay connected to the internet resources available in the library. Naturally, this blog is just one way everyone can see what is happening in the library throughout the year, but more importantly I want to make sure all of the links we share in the library are accessible to everyone once they leave the library. I thought of a couple of Web 2.0 applications that everyone can view and use from their home computers:
1. Google has lots of great features. I used Google Sites to create the P. S. 274 Library Media Center website. Included in our website is our Mission Statement, our Library Policies, and plenty of links for Students, Staff and Parents. It is currently a work in progress and eventually pages for the content areas will be included.
2. Most students already know the most important links used in the library can be found on the Library's Portaportal. Portaportal is a bookmarking website that allows you to store and organize tons of links just like your Favorites folder on your computer. The great part about using Portaportal is that you can access it from any computer with internet access.
My mission now is to spread the word about these websites and increase our sharing connection!
