Using List Web Parts

The information stored in lists and libraries can be made more powerful when presented in a Web Part page that presents the information in context for a user audience. Once a list or library has been created in your site, it is available as a Web Part that can be added one or many times throughout your site, connected to other Web Parts and modified to show the information most appropriate for that Web page audience.

Adding a list Web Part

All list and libraries on your site can be added as Web Parts to pages on your site. This allows you to create pages with multiple Web Parts that provide a consolidated view of the site content and to present the list and library information in a page that adds context to the information either through additional text or other list data that is relevant for the user tasks.

To add a list or library Web Part to your page, follow these steps:

1.	On the page that you want to add the list or library Web Part, select Edit Page from the Site Actions menu in the upper right corner.
2.	Select the zone in which you want to add the Web Parts and click Add a Web Part.
3.	Select the lists and libraries that you want to add to your page as shown in Figure 4.17. If you select Web Parts that you want to display in a zone other than the one that you are in, you can drag the list Web Part to that zone after you have added it to the page. Figure 4.17.
