Book Information

Since publication of the first edition of Web-Based Instruction, many significant advances in Web-based instruction have occurred. New technologies and tools have emerged, different ways of accessing the Internet are available, and virtual reference trends are redefining some library users' idea of the "library," and information literacy skills are recognized as essential to students' success. Expanding on the popular, practical how-to Web guide for public, academic, school, and special libraries, technology expert Smith has thoroughly updated the discussion to include new tools and trends, including browsers, access methods, hardware and software programs. She also supplies tips to secure project funding and provides strategic information for different libraries types, including K-12, public, academic, and corporate libraries. This completely revised edition also: Includes a new section on learning theory applied to Web-based instruction Translates Web-speak and defines the lingo, with expanded glossary and acronym list Illustrates new procedures with fresh screen shots and URLs from top library Web programs Addresses the limitations and benefits of Web-based instruction with clear criteria for decision-making A proven winner, this thoroughly updated hands-on manual is a must-have for owners of the first edition. Librarians facing the challenge of creating a Web-based project will find easy-to-understand guidance to create an educational and interactive Web site-from start to finish.
