Library Journal Review

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.

School Library Journal Review

Like other titles in Neal-Schuman's "How-To-Do-It" series, this book presents a basic, well-organized approach to understanding the Web and creating home pages. It defines Web vocabulary, explains in simple language the technology involved in accessing the Web and creating a Web site, discusses the issues involved in creating a training program, and, perhaps most important, develops a planning process for designing and implementing your own site. What you won't find is a discussion of the relative merits of different search engines and basic Web searching strategies. But this plain-language approach supplies even the Web initiate with enough of the details of Webspeak to converse and negotiate with the highest-level techie. Though the authors say their research was field-tested in all types of libraries, the book definitely has a public/university library feel. There is no discussion of the Web or home page development as a K-12 instructional tool. On the other hand, it includes a wonderfully comprehensive bibliography of print and Net resources, along with an appendix of sample Web pages.‘Judith A.
