3.3 Internet/WWW

http://www.w3schools.com/html/ (Accessed 21 October 2009)
I used "A Beginner's Guide to HTML" both prior to and during the process of creating my first website. The site is very useful for someone who needs an introduction to HTML code.

I accessed the City University Library Catalogue to provide an example of the way libraries use graphics.

I accessed the Wood Library Homepage to locate an example of the way libraries make use of graphics.

I consulted this resource to supplement the information provided in the lecture notes about DTD.

Wikipedia - MARC Standards (Accessed 3 November 2009)

How to write a DTD (Accessed 15 November 2009)

The XML FAQ (Accessed 15 November 2009)
I accessed this resource to supplement the information in the lecture notes. I used the information in this resource to help me create a DTD for a hypothetical library information management problem.

Webdesign/HTML:What is a DTD (Accessed 15 November 2009)

3.9 Client-side Programming

Tryit Editor (Accessed 30 November 2009)
I used this resource to test out the code I wrote for my JavaScript program. When using the Tryit Editor, you input code and the editor will test to see if you have written the code properly. This is a useful resource for step by step checking of the accuracy of JavaScript code. Once a program is written, it is more difficult to locate an error. Luckily, this editor helps you find errors as you write code and saves you the trouble of retracing your steps to find the error in a finished program.

Ann Arbor District Library (Accessed 9 December 2009)
Throughout my studies this semester, I have come across numerous resources that point to the Ann Arbor District Library as an example of web 2.0 best practice. Consequently, I chose to consult this library's website to find examples of how a library can make use of web 2.0 technologies to communicate with patrons.
