I looked through all of the ideas for library presence on the web. I currently have a school website that I keep up-to-date. When I have a class come in, I create a page with links for their projects and research. I leave all of this on my site with hopes that we can use it again next year with the same teacher. I find that the teachers will do a similar project the next year. It is easier to update my page each year than to start out fresh. The teachers are coming back to the library & requesting me to teach part of their classes now. They like that I add their suggestions to my page & that I tweak it. I still find that some teachers just need me to keep students on task. That's ok. I have them in the library & even though I don't give a whole class lesson, I can still give the students one-on-one instruction on how to better search.
The site that I explored the most was S'more. I really liked it. It was very easy to use & very easy to edit. I created a page & sent it to our person that does the facebook page for our school. She didn't post it because it explains how to get on our eBook site. So I talked to some students in the library. I am going to create a twitter page & request students to follow me. I really think that with Twitter & S'more, the library presence is going to increase a lot. I did send my first S'more to Polly. It was a simple one, but it looked so professional!
As of this week, our eBook checkouts have reached over 1,000. Normally, I don't get worked up over circulation numbers, but this time I did the happy dance. I send out an email to all of the people in our district. This is definitely something that I will be putting on our S'more page.
