Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians

by Eric H. Schnell

Abstract

    The most time consuming aspects of managing a library Web service are the  creation and maintenance of site documents and assets.  Although the organizational structure and contents of a Web site varies from library to library, participants in all library Web projects need to be familiar with the concepts and terminology associated with creating documents and resources for the Web.

   This document is not an in-depth HTML guide, but is instead a general introduction to Web content creation.  Newer technologies are briefly described and references to other resources are provided.  This is also an interactive document and provides the reader access to associated resources.
