Teens - Public Library web presence

[Thomas Edelblute]

Anaheimteens.net has about 3500 unique visitors per month. While it is not part of the library's main site, the main site provides the majority of the referrals. The Check it Out page where new books and suggested reading lists are posted has the most visits. Anaheimteens.net does not provide any way for teens to participate due to lack of time and staff skills. The teen site is in the process of moving back to the main library's web site due to, once again, lack of time and staffing.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Teens - Public Library web presence

Questions for the group on Teen pages. Please do not feel constrained to limit your response to these 5 questions. The first question is the most important

1. For those who have teen sites for your library's web presence, what are your web hits?


2. What teen participation do these pages provide (web 2.0 is ok)?


3. What are preferred features for teens at your site?


4. How do teens most often use your teen pages?  (perhaps tweens really use the pages and the teens have moved on?)


5. Do you hang the teen site off the library's web site or does it have its own host header or domain?



Thanks.
