Writing for the
Web: A Primer for Librarians |
Web technology is used daily by librarians for professional communication, research, and continuing education activities. It is used to stream live presentations, to support distance education programs, and to facilitate collaborative projects. It is used to distribute scholarly publications and documents, to manage manuscripts, and to process abstracts for conference presentations. The importance of the web as a communications tool for libraries has become even more essential than ever. It is therefore imperative that librarians understand the general principles of creating and maintaining web content. Librarians involved with the development of even a basic library-oriented web site need to understand how web documents are created and structured. The implementation of online services requires further understanding of how interactive forms gain their functionality. Adding graphics and multimedia material requires additional knowledge of different media formats. This interactive document provides a general introduction
to the concepts involved with creating and providing access to web documents.
It is not an HTML style guide. Newer web related tools and technologies
are briefly described and references to other resources are provided.
