- Your Library Goes Virtual: Promoting Reading and Supporting Research Church, Audrey School Libraries Library Services Internet Web Sites Reading Student Research According to a November 2004 Pew Internet and American Life Project survey, "87% of those between the ages of 12 and 17 are online...and half of them say they go online every day" ("Teens Forge" 1). They prefer the Internet to traditional libraries because they consider the Internet to be easier to use, more convenient, open 24/7, and full of more up-to-date material ("Digital Disconnect" 8). The challenge, therefore, is to offer them library sources and services via the Internet--the virtual school library/the school library Web page. Promoting reading and supporting research have always been goals for school libraries: in today's digital environment, however, it is possible to achieve these goals in a virtual setting. This article explores ways to promote reading among students and to support research virtually via a quality school library Web page.
