Summary
Summary
Keeping your library Web page up-to-date with the latest in Web technology requires understanding XHTML (eXtensible Hypertext Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). Sauers has written this how-to specifically for librarians. He thoroughly explains XHTML and CSS using library Web pages as examples. Utilizing these two current standards will make designing and maintaining Web pages easier.For example, XHTML and CSS make laborious tasks like changing the color of every one of your library's Web pages into a simple thirty-second project. Sauers' easy-to-follow, conversational tone conveys technological knowledge simply and clearly. Each of the chapter-lessons builds upon the previous ones. Coverage includes Web design standards, XHTML coding, metadata, XHTML and CSS validation, CSS classes and IDs, converting from HTML to XHTML, and advanced tutorials for both XHTML and CSS.

Booklist Review
Stating that many library sites are still created in HTML, an outdated program, the author endeavors to provide librarians the means to update their sites using XHTML (extensible hypertext markup language) and CSS (cascading style sheets), both of which can improve page accessibility and simplify Web design and maintenance. Content is divided into three sections: XHTML Essentials, CSS Essentials, and a companion Web site, the latter containing nine reference documents. Chapters address items such as hyperlinks, images, lists, tables, forms, frames, metadata, colors, measurements, positioning, and media types. Text is perfect for the non-expert, with highly readable content and clear explanations that are amply supported by figures, tables, and screen shots. Overall, an excellent guide that offers a fine introduction to beginners and a handy reference source for seasoned Web page designers. Highly recommended. --Sean Kinder Copyright 2006 Booklist
