     ABSTRACT: The most time consuming aspect of managing 
a library World-Wide Web service is creating and maintaining the 
documents which make up the site. Although policies and style sheets 
may vary for each library, all participants in library Web projects need 
to know how Web documents are constructed.

     This document discusses basic concepts and terminology which
are associated with writing documents for the Web. It is not an 
in-depth HTML guide but a general introduction on how Web
documents are created. Newer technologies used in Web site 
construction are briefly described and references to other 
resources are provided. An interactive glossary of terms 
associated with the Web is also included.
