Beyond Static Html: Creating Dynamic Pages for a Web Site and a Webpac

摘要

Dynamically created Web pages utilizing ACCESS, a database program, bring a new dimension to developing and maintaining a Web site along with expanding the access to online and print sources through the Library's Webpac. The simplicity of entering data requiring no knowledge of HTML, combined with the data being available immediately eliminates the most time-consuming part of maintaining and updating a Web site. The need to transfer files to the server, another time-consuming and potentially troublesome area, has also been removed. Subject guide pages can be developed quickly, then cataloged in the library's Webpac. Utilizing a database program has provided an avenue to adding value to the sources and services of the library. The MyLibrary and Data Genie pages give users the opportunity to create their own interface of resources to meet their unique and individual research needs.
