[ISLMA-Share] Middle School Library websites

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hi Lauren,

Good luck with your endeavor.  Just a suggestion- you may want to create a
few mock-ups and then assemble a student focus group to give you feedback
into what they looking for in a website.  When I did this, I found things I
thought were very important weren't as important to them.

If you are a GAFE school, you may be required to use Sites.  Be aware that
it is being revamped and the new version doesn't currently offer a lot of
bells and whistles.  If they don't enhance it, my current site
<https://sites.google.com/a/d64.org/lincoln-middle-school-lrc/> will be
adversely affected.

Good luck...it's a lot of work all the time, but well worth it!
Denise
