Week 7: Reading Notes

 1) W3schools HTML Tutorial: http://www.w3schools.com/HTML/
I already know basic HTML, but this tutorial was a nice review of paragraphs, headings, start tags and end tags. As the tutorial became more in-depth in basic formats, I appreciated the refresher course on more difficult codes like frames, which I would always need to look up in the past.

<html>

<frameset rows="25%,50%,25%">

  <frame src="frame_a.htm" />
  <frame src="frame_b.htm" />
  <frame src="frame_c.htm" />

</frameset>

</html>

The advanced, media, XHTML (or XML), and reference sections are great resources for future reference!


This cheatsheet is also a good reference, but I would prefer looking up codes in the previous tutorial, as you could easily see how they work (and quickly test them) all within one or two pages.

 3) Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.

Options:
-FrontPage
-Open source
-In-house

I understand databases are used to keep track of updating library web guides, but how they connect to formatting is still a difficult concept for me. Whether one uses the content management system itself, or code in FrontPage or another format, is up to the librarian/library. I would probably better understand how the transition occurs in a real-time process, or shadowing someone like a web development librarian, a title referenced in the article.
