The first step in creating a great library homepage is NOT to buy an HTML textbook and start tagging text. Itís to take a critical look at what information you want to provide for patrons and staff, organize it for the Web environment, and design Web pages that load quickly. If you already have a homepage, you might not have spent a lot of time thinking about content when you first built it. Now may be the time to re-evaluate your web presence to see if it is really as effective as it can be. If you are just getting ready to plan your homepage, learn how you can organize the content so patrons get maximum benefit. Wherever you are in the process, this hands-on lecture/laboratory can help!
