So this week's reading more lend themselves to my crazy ideas of what I could do once I become queen of HTML...hum, I was thinking a website dedicated to Charles Dicken's 200th birthday or Literary Mardi Gras. But then I read the last article (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.), and it struck me that perhaps the next generation library webpage is a blended version of catelogue in a open source Koha format and a overlay of HTML that takes the patron beyond just the book search to events and local and national articles about their topic. Now I realize that the such a crazy hare-brain scheme is probably very labor intensive. But the times they are a changing and who know the capabilities and what patrons will want, no, demand from their libraries in only lets say 5 years from now. So, I better watch that tutorial again and post that monkey cheat sheet at my cubical and get ready for the HTML library revolution. I have a strong feeling it will probably show up at interview time.
