Re: [LM_NET] Collaboration : data bases

[Mary Alice Anderson <maryalicea@MAC.COM>]

This of of course such a common situation and problem all over.      Some things 
I've done include:

notes in building and district wide newsletters that are sent to the parents and 
community
brief presentations at open houses or parent nights.   Recently a teacher had his 
own parent night and I asked him to share information; That was successful.
I worked with Cengage/Gale. They created a web page highlighting Gale products one 
of our schools subscribes to; we link to that page on our media center site ; the 
Gale page links back to the school media center
Create book marks or wallet size cards with access information including at home 
passwords and logins

I look forward to hearing other ideas and your follow-up posting.
