[LM_NET] Evaluate your library website

[Pam Berger <pberger@INFOSEARCHER.COM>]

Hello,

 

Starting in January, I'll be teaching a course for the iSchool at
Syracuse University, "Information Technologies in Educational
Organizations." One of the assignments is to evaluate a school or
library media center website. The students will be learning how to
evaluate Web sites using the WebMAC and Content Validity instruments
(developed by Ruth Small and Marilyn Arnone) and for their assignment
each student will evaluate an actual Web site and write an evaluation
consultant report to the client (you). The report will describe the
results of the evaluation in detail and will include ideas for
improvement. 

 

I did this last January when I taught this course and the clients found
the results extremely valuable. Of course, you are under no obligation
to implement any of the suggestions but many clients do and emailed me
how pleased they were with the changes. You are not only helping future
school library professionals but you will be receiving high level
feedback on your site.

 

If you would like to volunteer your Web site for evaluation, please
contact me no later than January 10 at pberger@infosearcher.com  

 

In your message, please include:

Your name

Your title

School name

City, State, Zip

email address

Person who should receive the report (if other than you) and their email
address

URL of school or library media center Web site to be evaluated

 

 

I will contact you by Jan. 23 to let you know if your site was selected.
Evaluation reports will be sent out via email by the end of April.

 

Thanks for your help. 

Pam
