The Teaching Librarian, volume 11 no. 2 Written for teacher-librarians, teachers, school administrators, and district IT personnel, K-12 Web Pages: Planning & Publishing Excellent School Web Sites helps define and answer all the questions - about content, design, safety, ethics, and responsibility - involved in the planning and publishing of excellent school web sites. The authors provide considerable detail and quite a bit of technical information, making this a useful handbook rather than just background reading. It must be noted, however, that K-12 Web Pages is not intended to teach readers how to actually create a web site with either HTML coding or authoring software. In their introduction, the authors say that the actual creation of a web site isn't the hard part. The hard part, the part this book addresses, is the planning necessary to create an excellent web site. An index and a detailed table of contents make it easy to find specific information. K-12 Web Pages: Planning & Publishing Excellent School Web Sites is an essential companion to whatever HTML guide or authoring package that is being used. It's important to remember that legal references (e.g., to copyright laws) are American and that it will be necessary to check Canadian laws as well as provincial and district policies. Logan and Beuselinck have created a handbook that should prove extremely useful to anyone interested in creating a school (or library/department/class) web site. - Brenda Dillon, 2004
