My Weekly Blog for week of 10-21-08

This is the week destined for HTML and Web Authoring Software. My comments on the required readings are thus:

W3schools HTML Tutorial was quite impressive as it easily shows you how to create your URL and begin your web page. I could not find webmonkey.wired.com; however, I will attempt to retrieve that article before this weekend. W3 School Cascading Style Sheet Tutorial was, also, impressive because it is just another format for creating a web page.

As for Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides..., the Georgia State University Library participated in a case study which has 30 web-based research guides developed by the subject liaison librarians there. This case study article covers the report on the content management system (CMS) they are utilizing, designed to manage these web-based research guides. As a result, this management system (CMS) met and exceeded the baseline expectations for the collection and management of content. This means "control" of the library website. However, this system (CMS) has not been adopted by academic libraries.

Have a great evening!
