Exemplary+School+Library+Websites

 [] This website has many helpful links for student research, book clubs, eReaders, a place for parent information and some teacher resources. It also shows examples of student work and resources on copy writes and plagiarism. The only problem I have with the site is that the text doesn’t fit on the page sometimes and makes it look sloppy.
 * Upper Arlington High School Learning Center **

 [] This website has research links and links to the media center policies. The site also includes lab schedules for the school and resources specific to classes. My favorite part of the page is "I finished my homework...now what?" which includes links to fun educational sites students can visit when their school work is finished. The site also prominently includes information about their last author visit and the librarians contact information. One issue I have found is that from the district page you have to scroll almost all the way to the bottom (past the football) to find the library.
 * Oakwood High School **

 [] This website includes information on author visits, the library catalog and suggested summer reading. It is well set up and looks very professional but to get to the subscription databases you have to stay on the main school page.
 * Greensview Elementary School **

I spent some time searching local school websites and found very limited or nonexistent websites for the libraries in Dayton Public Schools, Columbus Public Schools and Cincinnati Public Schools.
