Calendar
I use the Calendar page - 871 - as the program manager, I am constantly checking this

Catalog (4 votes)
This is pretty self-explanatory. We have to have this one.
It would be nice if it was more visible from the main jocolibrary.org site.

Online Databases (2 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=931
This is a frequent jumping-off point. From here, I show patrons our online newspaper/magazine databases, Valueline, ReferenceUSA, Geneology, etc.

FirstSearch / Worldcat.
Not technically a library webpage, but invaluable.

Classes and Events (2 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=770
Usually to show patrons the variety of classes we offer at the library and how to get a copy of the handy dandy booklet.

Books, Music, Magazines & More
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=908
This is the "Books, Music, Magazines & More" link, which leads directly into our online catalog. I like to tell patrons how they can look up books from their home and even how to place books on hold. It saves people time. My wife, who's been a library patron forever, never knew about it until I showed her. (Only problem is that I'm the one who has to bring all of them home for her!)

US Government Departments
(Kids > Facts and Learning>People, Cultures and Countries>The United States)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=656
This is a kids' page that really needs its profile boosted-- v. helpful and fun!

Interlibrary Loan (3 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.com/index.asp?DisplayPageID=156
But this page should be accessible from more places on the website than just the home page (Yes, I know it’s on the catalog, too)

Audiobooks

Library Branches & Locations (2 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=293
Not enough people go to it, but when people express puzzlement along the lines of 'I never knew you had a branch in Spring Hill' or 'Why aren't you open on Sundays?' I always mention that the list of libraries and hours are listed online.

JCL Computer Training (2 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=1461
My VIPs and myself use these to point to the computer classes available, snag the practice word document, and tell patrons they don't have to wait for a class, they can walk through the training packets themselves.

Search & Research (2 votes)
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=1237
This is the "Search & Research" section that lists what databases are available to patrons. This page is a good catch-all, so patrons can scan the list and choose for themseves what they might need.

Jocobusiness
http://www.jocolibrary.org/?displaypageid=453

Kids’ Corner
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=1164

Organization and Contacts
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=158
This page is totally hidden away at the bottom of the website but it has all the relevant contact info that I point people to regularly.

Search Engines and Subject Directories
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=62
For when patrons say I want to search the web but I don't want to bias them into one site over the other.

JCL foundation (due to the upcoming benefit)

Homework Help
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=1951

Teens
http://www.jocolibrary.org/index.asp?DisplayPageID=791
This page always has info on the latest happenings for teens at the library. I point teachers and students here frequently.
