Week 8 - Reading Notes

W3schools HTML Tutorial, HTML Cheatsheet, W3 School Cascading Style Sheet

These three tutorials/guides/cheat-sheets are fantastic for learning about HTML and CSS. They provide a good base of information, the examples are easily to understand, and the “try it yourself” portion was beneficial.  Understanding codes and definitions for me is important because I have a hard time remembering what they stand for; also learning about HTML is an important foundation for XML.

Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system

This research paper reminds me of the importance for information professionals to have a good understanding of technology and web architecture. These skills are useful for small libraries because staff members wear many hats and updating library content will have to be accomplished by someone. Also your resume will thank you.
