What Makes a Good Library Website? - InfoSpace - 0 views

  •  
    "Some library websites feel disconnected from the library as a whole. Rather than looking at a library's web presence as a burden or an obligation, libraries should see their website as an extension of the library itself. Like the physical library space, library collections, and library services and programs, the library's website is an iterative project that requires maintenance and care. Websites should be updated and evaluated regularly. They must strive to meet the specific needs of the community the library serves."

It is particularly important to children from deprived areas. Opening a library door helps children open their mind. For many, books are too expensive and a library allows students to borrow them." Includes links to research and further reading.

Manga Belongs in School Libraries - Knowledge Quest - 1 views

  •  
    "Other school librarians who have manga collections tell me the same things: their circulation statistics are up, their students are in the library more frequently, and reading as a whole is on the rise. Despite the results many of us report in our libraries, many school librarians are resistant to providing manga to their students. I believe this is often the result of stereotypes about the medium."
