4)Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.

“The web guides were extremely diverse on a visual level. Each librarian, as well as the Student assistants and support staff who also worked on the pages, used different fonts, colors
And layout designs. Navigation was hampered by the lack of agreed-upon guidelines for content arrangement and labeling. While some librarians utilized their previous experience with
FrontPage or other web editing programs, others had never created a single web page. The lack
of any training system to address these differing web page and site-building skills among the
Librarians were also a factor affecting the quality and consistency of the guides.”

This paper shows how the web development librarian and the web programmer work together to find new system that can set policies and guidelines in place to help the fifteen liaison librarians.
