rant/This is an aside, but ... The Series Binder is created by the Webster Public Library Children's staff. Where is Webster, you ask? Well, it took me five clicks deeper and deeper into the site and it could have been more if I hadn't gotten lucky to find it is Webster NY. I think every Web site should have at least its city and state on the front page.
Even if you assume only your neighbors and other locals are using your library/school/business/institution/other Web site, it is vital to put your location on the front page! How else will they know that this is the Webster Public Library they are looking for? It's the World Wide Web, after all--people find your site from all over the Web and world. I can't tell you the number of times I have looked at a newspaper or TV Web site and it is identified only as the Springfield Gazette or KSRE with no other identification. I can name a half a dozen Springfields without trying very hard. So, when students or you are putting content on the Web, tell us where you are. Make it a best practice. /end of rant
