New Book from Information Today, Inc. covers issues, strategies, techniques for organizations moving data to the Web

March 16, 2001, Medford, NJ — Information Today, Inc. (ITI) has announced the publication of Creating Web-Accessible Databases: Case Studies for Libraries, Museums, and Other Non-Profits, edited by Julie M. Still.

Libraries, museums, and other not-for-profit institutions are increasingly looking for ways to offer patrons and the public Internet access to their collections. As those who have already done it can attest, transforming a database and myriad related files into a searchable, usable Web resource requires trained personnel, the right computer hardware and software, and a well-defined strategy. This new book explores the many and unique challenges nonprofit archival institutions face in leveraging the Internet, presenting one dozen case studies showcasing a variety of successful projects and approaches.
