Library web site guidelines

[Heather Adams]

> Does anyone know of info on BASIC design principles of web sites,

There are two checklists giving criteria for web pages. The first is 
for an information web page at:
http://www.science.widener.edu/~withers/inform.htm
The second is for a personal home page:
http://www.science.widener.edu/~withers/perspg.htm

There is a list of evaluation techniques given at:
http://www.science.widener.edu/~withers/evalout.htm
which I have found useful for judging existing web pages.

An other source of information is a paper called Thinking critically 
about World Wide Web resources which can be found at: 
http://www.library.ucla.edu/libraries/college/instruct/critical.html

None of these sites offer the specifics of how to put a header/footer 
or link into place. All they offer is criteria that may need to be 
considered when you are planning a web page.

Regards,

Heather
