Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Although written for library professionals and library Web site designers, the focus here is solidly on end users, today's Internet-savvy teenagers. The book begins with a thorough review of the essentials of building Web sites, with details on launching or expanding one, and on learning new technology skills. This extremely well-written book will appeal to non-techies as well as to those with advanced experience in creating Web sites. The recommendations are supplemented by interviews with library professionals who have put these ideas into practice, and many of them don't require tremendous amounts of time or effort. The author also provides an outstanding overview of technology including podcasts, blogs, RSS feeds, wikis, and more. Although there is a concern that with hundreds of URLs this book could become quickly dated, the ideas behind the links are strong enough to be useful alone. A Tech Companion section builds on the glossary and offers innovative suggestions for using particular technologies. Doyle concludes with a review of the literature, links to blogs for library Webmasters, and an index. This book is highly recommended for libraries that are creating or expanding a Web presence for young adults.

From Booklist
Everyone who serves teens in libraries will find something useful in this book. The theme is that teens are experienced tech users, and libraries need to make their online presence as inviting and informative as their physical space. To make this happen, Doyle provides dozens of excellent, inspiring ideas, many of which involve minimal knowledge or expense. For example, she explains how to put a free counter on Web pages (numbers matter!) and how to check for dead links on a site. Among the more involved projects are starting a book-review blog or wiki (which need to be carefully monitored and kept up to date). Every chapter includes real public and school library examples plus personal and e-mail interviews with librarians who have created and maintain sites. A thorough tech glossary and suggestions for further reading round out the contents. Clearly written and well presented, this book provides a variety of ways to promote interaction with young patrons and visibility for library services. Gooden, Susan
