[WEB4LIB] RE: Indexing a Local Newspaper Index on the Web

[bmenk at hampton.lib.nh.us]

We presently publish our local newspaper index using Filemaker 
Pro and have been pretty pleased with it. For publishing a simple 
database directly to the web you can literally just check the 
"publish to web" option and it will work with a canned, reasonably 
useful interface. To customize it though takes more work and a 
knowledge of HTML.

It runs on Mac & Windows machines and runs about $130 last 
time I checked.

You can visit it in the News section our Reference Dept at 
http://www.hampton.lib.nh.us/referenc/News/ - choose "Index to 
the Hampton Union & Atlantic News".

This might not be a solution if you don't run your own webserver 
however. I don't know how many ISP's will run it for you on one of 
their servers.
