Week 8 Reading Notes

W3 Schools HTML Tutorial - HTML Cheatsheet

These articles were clear and well written even for one that has a tendency to glaze over at the prospect of learning something in such a foreign area.  Hyper text Mark up Language (HTML) uses a set of mark up tags to describe web pages.

Web browsers ‘read’ documents and interprets them as web pages. I bookmarked the tutorial along with the list of tags for future reference. I can see where I might need to use this information in the future.

I really enjoyed being able to try out some of the examples and it demystified the process for me.

Beyond HTML Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system
By: Doug Goans, Guy Leach & Teri M. Vogel

This article was about a study that was conducted at a large University Library on the benefits of using a content management system (CMS). There were many of the details that were lost on me, but the overarching theory is that the CMS model allows libraries to retain control of publishing their web sites while clients can tag content. The conclusion stated the transition to CMS was positive and that its use would expand to other areas.

Wow! I had a really hard time with this assignment. The learning curve was huge for me. I think it still is faster with the method I have developed for myself over the years. It would really help if i could sit down with someone that uses these methods and see the advantages when I am not under pressure to produce an assignment.

Internet and WWW Technologies (10/25) Week 7

Sorry for the brevity I had this all typed out and went to search something and came back and it was gone! So now I am doing it over in word and will cut and paste.

 Tyson, Jeff. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet-infrastructure.htm/printable

Great graphics! Easy to understand and quick video. From the inception the Internet free and accessible by all has grown exponentially. Finally a nuts and bolts picture of how the Internet works.

 Andrew K. Pace (2004). Dismantling Integrated Library Systems. Library Journal, 129(2), p.34-36. Full Text

This was an interesting and timely article for me. My library system has just gone through the process of finding a new ILS and will begin the changeover, spending several months preparing for a smooth transition.

 Sergey Brin and Larry Page: Inside the Google machine.
    http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/sergey_brin_and_larry_page_on_google.html 

Finally the answer to the burning question....Seriously, these guys clearly explain the Internet connections and what they are working on. This is a bit dated and I have seen it before  but it is a real concrete look at the Internet.  I would like to see what the Internet world looks like now.


 I think the company is incredible. What a dream job that would be. I did not realize the extent of their charitable contributions. Also this is a great example of project management and organization.

Lots of good humor and enjoyable to listen to.
