Abstract:

The creation and maintenance of the Web
documents and resources is the most time
consuming aspect of managing a library
World-Wide Web service. Although the structure
and content of these resources vary by library, it
is important all participants in library Web
projects know the concepts and terminology
associated with creating documents and
 resources for Web distribution. This document is
not an in-depth HTML guide, but is instead a
general introduction to 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.
