- 13. SUMMARY Having online materials available via the web for teachers, students, and parents is an excellent way to enhance involvement in the school library media center. In this way, all have access to the materials that once were only available through visiting the library in person. Online materials also provide communication about any special activities or events that are scheduled as part of the school library media program. It is an all-around way to increase everyone’s knowledge about the library media center and also increase awareness about the areas of involvement that the library media center has as part of the overall school environment.
