Abstract:  The creation and maintenance of the documents 
and assets of a World-Wide Web site are the most time 
consuming aspects of managing a library Web service. 
Although the organizational structure and content of a Web
site varies by 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. It is also an interactive 
document and provides the reader access to associated 
resources.
