The increased use of technology in libraries has provided tremendous
opportunities for accessing and distributing information. As information
and library resources become increasingly available through the Internet,
so does the need to develop user-friendly interfaces to access these
resources. A well conceived and designed library homepage can serve as
one such interface.
The content of the presentation will illustrate the usefulness of
homepages, examine the process of homepage development and design, and
demonstrate the ease of HTML programming. Topics discussed will include
the formation of the homepage committee, the creation of guidelines, and
writing basic HTML scripts.
