This volume is a how-to guide to the use of computers in
library-based adult literacy programs. Since the commitment to
literacy training has become an integral part of libraries' efforts
to offer equal access to information, Linda Main and Char Whitaker
provide a comprehensive study of the efficacious role the computer
can play in achieving this objective. The problems and successes
associated with the introduction of computers into library literacy
programs, as well as financial requirements, space, furniture,
training, and the effect on other library operations are central to
the study. The text also features a design for an ideal
computerized literacy lab, an overview of compatible software, both
existing and proposed, and a look at the rewards and challenges
facing librarians, professional educators, and literacy program
directors in the future. Appendixes provide country-wide
information on libraries currently involved in automating literacy,
main suppliers of literacy software, and consulting personnel.
A successful Web site presents information to the user in a format
with which he or she is accustomed. How much greater then the
challenge to build a Web site capable of addressing the information
needs of racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse
populations. Linda Main brings to the forefront those issues that
should be considered by anyone building a Web site aimed at a
multinational audience. It is a practical, hands-on look at issues
such as: writing systems, character sets, encoding, and Unicode;
XHTML and CSS style sheets; the effective placement of graphics;
and the sensible use of Javascript, XML, and XSLT. Important
subjective and objective cultural issues are also examined.
Building Web Sites for Multicultural Communities is the perfect
reference tool for people who know how to build a Web site but want
to focus on globalizing their Web pages, for people who may
outsource their Web sites need some understanding of the issues and
techniques involved in globalization, and for people in the initial
throes of Web site construction who want to do it right the first
time.
