Exciting news! My practicum supervisor, over at the Our Lady of Mercy library, was excited to hear about my website project, and pointed out that they don't have a separate website for their library, either. We're talking about collaborating on website ideas and designs as I keep refining St. Leo's website, and maybe helping Our Lady get theirs off the ground, too!
We haven't discussed collaboration plans in depth yet, but Our Lady has some EBSCO subscriptions we don't that could use a central searching hub, and if we could find a way to get an online catalog working in addition to the on-site one they have, they'd increase student ability to look for information pretty substantially. Plus, it's always nice to show off the Media Center and give families a place to see what's going on.
Obviously, that's a long-range thing that might or might not ever happen, since I may not be staying at St. Leo forever, but it'd still be nice to keep connections with local librarians and lend a helping hand. Networking for beginners, right?
