The Web

The World Wide Web today is a huge network of information resources which was built in order to broadcast information for human users. Consequently, most of the information on the Web is designed to be suitable for human consumption: the structuring principles are weak, many different kinds of information co-exist, and most of the information is represented as free text.

This paper discusses how the application of informetric modelling techniques and principles offers a powerful set of analytic tools for empirically grounding one's understanding of World Wide Web interactions. Data collected from the transmission statistics of a non-profit Web site are presented to illustrate the usefulness of informetric analyses for both scholars and practitioners. . .

New Procedures

The World Wide Web is particularly suited as a communication medium for the deaf community. A wealth of deaf-related online information is available on subject specific, special purpose, and comprehensive sites that provide important resources for deaf people, their families, and involved professionals. Librarians now face the challenge of devising new procedures for teaching users how to search for inform ation and more importantly, how to evaluate the quality of what is retrieved.

While students at major universities may have access to the World Wide Web via campus computer labs, many have yet to take advantage of the Web's offerings. Regular demonstrations of Web sites were incorporated into an introductory advertising course to pique students’ interest in the Web. This paper discusses how Web site visits were incorporated into lectures and the students’ evaluation of the Web site component of the course.

The Web

This chapter examines the role of the World Wide Web in traditional lecture based courses. It details a student oriented approach to the development and maintenance of course Web sites. An experiment was conducted in order to determine if use of a course Web site improves student performance. The surprising results, that students in certain sections did not use the site at all, are analyzed. It was concluded that using the Web in class and making Web assignments part of student’s graded work may impact use of a course Web site.

Work Education

Social work education programs have begun to use the World Wide Web as a means of providing an educational tool and a delivery system for information about their programs. This paper provides an introduction to Web concepts, describes a procedure for creating a simple Web site, and investigates current use of the Web by BSW programs. It was found that 125, (39.1 percent) BSW programs have a social work Web site. The types and quality of information provided varied widely among programs. Programs provide information on mission, course descriptions, faculty descriptions, admissions requirements, and curriculum. In addition, almost half of programs offered a means for students to contact the program through e-mail. Only a small number of programs provided other program specific information such as syllabi, newsletters, financial aid, alumni information, or policy manuals. Approximately one-third of the programs provided links to other sources on the Internet. Only 14 percent of programs' sites were rated excellent by students. The potential of the World Wide Web to promote information sharing among social work programs and organizations is discussed.

Academic Resources

The ever-changing nature of information sources, coupled with the increased demand on dwindling academic resources, led librarians and other information professionals to recognise the need for information retrieval (IR) systems that can incorporate the expertise of the information professional and gather knowledge about the user's experiences and preferences (Werckert & Cooper, 1989). The explosion of available information resources brought about by the development of the Internet and the World-Wide Web (WWW) has strengthened this need. The goal is to produce an 'intelligent' IR system which would work with the user to satisfy their information needs, so the application of Artificial lntelligence (AI) techniques seems a likely approach to the problem (Morris, 1990).

The Web

The World Wide Web (web) grows apace, yet many web sites possess a confusing design, frustrating would-be users. We offer a structured approach, called SPUD (Site - Purpose Users Design) to the task of designing, not implementing, web sites. Our methodology focuses upon a structured walkthrough of a web site and consists of three phases (and 15 substeps), with possible iteration between the stages. (1) Define the audience characteristics of users of the web site, including their motives for visiting, their demographics, and their likely technological capabilities. (2) Plan accordingly the structure of the web site, the page layouts, and the navigation procedures between pages. (3) Develop and test functions useful to the users of the web site, such as a search function (for a complex web site) or an order function (for a retail web site).
