Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The authors, an academic library administrator and an Internet trainer, provide a clear, virtually jargon-free guide to developing a library web site. Topics covered include planning for Internet web access, hardware and software requirements, choosing a web browser, and training staff and patrons. A brief but helpful introduction to HTML will help you design and implement a library homepage. Also included are a glossary and an extensive bibliography of print and electronic resources. Especially useful are the chapters on issues to consider before providing web access and an outline of concepts to include in training sessions for staff and patrons, arranged by level of expertise. Tailored for a library setting, this guide would be of particular interest to library administrators, as it offers a broad view of web development within the organizational structure of a library and addresses planning, budgeting, and staffing issues throughout. Anyone interested in the web, however, would find the book useful. Highly recommended as both a general overview and a handy reference.?Janet Crum, Oregon Health Sciences Univ. Lib., Portland
