[CALIBK12] TECH: (no) library link on school home page?

[Becca Todd]

Our Library Services has a link as one of the Departments off of the main
district page. From there, I have a link to each of the school site
library pages, as well as general resources. Each school page has a direct
link to their site library. Each school library page has a direct link
back to their PTA sponsored school website, to the district site, and to
Library Services. This did take awhile to get in place, but a clear
rationale and gentle persistence paid off.

I believe it is very important to have a direct link from the district
website to the library program. We are an integral part of our students'
lives at school, both academically and emotionally, and a great resource
for our families. We need to be easy to find virtually as well physically.
