Management: Staff Involvement

Everyone on the school or library staff should be familiar with the content and use of the website. Although not everyone will be developing and posting pages themselves, everyone should be encouraged to play a role in the success of the materials. From content development to checking links, there are many ways staff members can help. A truly interactive website may require a number of ongoing responsibilities such as checking email, monitoring discussion groups, or checking online registrations or scheduling.

In order for staff to play an active role, you may need to set up training sessions. You can do the same with student workers. Consider very short training sessions that focus on specific topics such as using the digital camera, resizing photographs, or answering email questions.
