     ABSTRACT: The most time consuming aspect 
of managing a library World-Wide Web service is 
the creation and maintenace of the documents and 
resources. Although the structure and content of these
services will vary for each library, all participants in 
library Web projects need to know the different ways
Web documents and resources can be constructed. 
This document discusses basic concepts and terminology 
associated with creating documents and resources for 
distribution on the Web. It is not an in-depth HTML guide, 
but a general introduction on Web resource creation. 
Newer technologies are briefly described and references 
to other resources are provided. An interactive glossary of
terms associated with the Web is also included.
