Library Web Site - what can be improved?

 Free service (CHC rep) to create mobile web pages.

 

 Look at:  Half Hollow Hills Community Library site - has link to mobile page as soon as page opens on mobile      device.

 

Design webpage so it is stripped of eccess code so it is accessible to mobile, blind, deaf users.

 

LibraryThing - enter ISBNs - links to our cat

 

WOWbrary - Bibliomation sends info for libraries.  Generates email listing new cat entries. (Terryville site ex.)

               www.wowbrary.org

 

Set up iGoogle page/account.  (RSS feeds.)

 

Feed2js  - use to copy code/link to another site (creates link to bpl from anther site)

               (www.mysitefeed.com can do also, but inserts advertising)(gives explanations)
