teen website updates

ahhhhh - what would we do without our children? i ~ for one ~ believe my hair would still be black but that's probably a post on another site (mothers united against aging)..... since i've got teenagers at home they've become my own personal guinea pigs and they're mostly happy to comply *bribing with desserts helps, too.* to my daughter, "go look at the teen website - the blue spruce nominees are posted and you've read alot of them - go comment!"

she happily goes thru the list (yes this editorial can say happily because she really WAS enjoying the titles that were listed) and commenting on them....until..... she says "oh you should be able to click on the author name so that i can look for more books by this author" --- valid point, i thought, to bring to alyson. then she says "you should link to the next book in the series so i can put it on hold or at least know about it" -- thought this was a nice touch so i tiptoed my way to alyson'c cube to bring these ideas to her (not to mention the previous idea of adding the series as linkable, too!). we had a great discussion about series names - no the catalog isn't always great about providing series information in the record but LMS is very happy to help us out when needed! we talked about how to get next book in series information which led to putting up an article "tell us your favorite series" so we might know which to follow (look for this in april)!

for those of you who are teenagers at heart, if you don't have any at home - go play around on the teen site and let this blog know what you think...improvements, changes, etc....or create an account to comment on some of the titles! happy surfing!
