Since publication of the first edition of "Web-Based Instruction",
many significant advances in Web-based instruction have occurred.
New technologies and tools have emerged, different ways of
accessing the Internet are available, and virtual reference trends
are redefining some library users' idea of the "library", and
information literacy skills are recognized as essential to
students' success. Furthermore, after writing the first edition,
the author received feedback from readers on areas they'd like to
see expanded. For example, public, K-12, and special libraries
indicated they'd like more on Web-based instruction in their areas.
Also, more discussion on pedagogy and learning styles was
recommended. Expanding on the popular, practical how-to Web guide
for public, academic, school and special libraries, technology
expert Smith has thoroughly updated the discussion to include new
tools and trends, including browsers, access methods, hardware, and
software programs. She also supplies tips to secure project
funding, and provides strategic information for different libraries
types, including K-12, public, academic, and corporate libraries.
This completely revised edition also: includes a new section on
learning theory applied to Web-based instruction; translates
Web-speak and defines the lingo, with expanded glossary and acronym
list; illustrates new procedures with fresh screen shots and URLs
from top library Web programs; addresses the limitations and
benefits of Web-based instruction with clear criteria for
decision-making; takes a comprehensive step-by-step approach to
developing, implementing, and assessing Web-based instruction
programs; and identifies the authoring tools and resources required
to be effective. A proven winner, this thoroughly updated hands-on
manual is a must-have for owners of the first edition. Librarians
facing the challenge of creating a Web-based project will find
easy-to-understand guidance to create an educational and
interactive Web site - from start to finish.
