The library and information professional's guide to the World Wide Web

World Wide Web technology is having profound implications for the development of all types of information and library services. This companion volume to Library and Information Professional's Guide to the Internet shows the reader actual implementations in a variety of information work settings. The guide takes an in-depth look into the technology of the WWW and its applications for information work, clearly explaining challenging and technical topics. The book's particular focus is on setting up and managing a WWW server, with pointers to software and a practical guide to building HTML pages. The authors also suggest possible applications of the WWW in libraries as well as in public and private sector organizations.
