Here are three excellent models:
Library Research at Cornell: A Hypertext uide
http://www.library.cornell.edu/okuref/research/tutorial.html
Guide to Library Research, Charles Sturt Libraries
http://athene.mit.csu.edu.au/division/library/tutorial.htm
Welch Web -- William H. Welch Medical Library, John Hopkins University
http://www.welch.jhu.edu/classes/tut/lit-srch/
The following sites offer advice on constructing sites:
Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians
http://bones.med.ohio-state.edu/eric/papers/primer/webdocs.html
Top 10 Ways to Make Your WWW Service a Flop
http://coombs.anu.edu.au/SpecialProj/QLTY/FlopMaker.html
An excellent tool for maintaining your site: InContext's WebAnalyzer:
http://www.incontext.com/products/analyze.html
Print resources:
Cooper, Eric A. "Applying the fundamentals of librarianship to
technology: Designing and maintaining your library's Web site." Illinois
Libraries 79:1 (Winter 1997) 5-10.
Cunningham, Jim. "So you want to put your library on the Web?" Computer
in Libraries 17 (Feb 1997) 42-45.
Matsco, Sandra, and Sharon Campbell. "Writing a library home page."
Public Libraries 25 (Sept-Oct 1996) 284-286.
Stover, Mark, and Steven D. Zink. "World Wide Web home page design:
Patterns and anomalies of higher education library home pages." Reference
Services Review 24:3 (Winter 1994) 7-20. For me, the value of this
article lay mainly in the extensive bibliography and in the appendix,
"Points to Consider When Constructing a Home Page."
I know there are others but can't put my hands on them right now.
Hoping the URLs and citations are correct, Rita Barsun
