DESCRIPTION
If your library has little, if any, technical support, and you have little, if any programming background, this stand- alone workbook will help you create a simple, yet professional-looking, Web site. Using a typical Microsoft Windows environment with "cut and paste" templates and examples, you will learn to understand some of the benefits and limitations of using commercially available software tools.
