[WEB4LIB] RE: "Style" sheets

[Bollinger,Stephen]

As an important counterpoint, though, consider the following:

Our library created a new card for youth patrons.  It is referred to variously by staff as "The First Card", "The Youth One Card", "The Youth First Card", "The One Card" and "The Youth Card".  A style-guide pronouncement standardizing the name would eliminate considerable patron and staff confusion.

Yours,
-Steve

Don't forget the old adage: "Consistency is the bugaboo of small minds."  I
think such things as requiring web or Web to be consistent are counter
productive and overly bureaucratic.  It is nitpicking at its worst.
