Beyond Method #2

Netvibes - Customizable Homepages

I love the idea for using the same library-created homepage for all our patron computers.  I would include

• Google search box
• Links to Facebook, Yahoo!, and Hotmail
• Local weather forecast gadget
• TexShare Databases
• Super-basic "How to use a Computer" tutorial link
• Texas Law Help that has free divorce forms
• as well as other frequently asked-for websites, like the link to a local business people often print their check stubs from.

  This would be the perfect way to put this information at our patron's fingertips. All of these links are on our website, but buried - you have to click, click, click to get to them.  Customizable homepages are perfect and I'm happy to know how to create them.
