Maximizing The Web For Serialists: New Tools For A New Millennium: Using The Web For The Public [Preconference Report], Elizabeth Parang, Michelle Flinchbaug, Robb Waltner

Elizabeth Parang

The Web can be a great tool for bibliographic instruction, publicizing a library's collection and increasing its use. It is also invaluable for serials-related reference work. This session looked at how public services librarians and other serialists with similar responsibilities can make the Web work for them. Participants created a professional or departmental home page that could be used in serials-oriented public services. Techniques covered included using various search engines, embedding third-party search engines into a Web page, using lists and tables, simple forms and some of the newer and less common HTML tags.
