4.  The World Wide Web is a system of
interlinked hypertext documents accessed via
the Internet.
 With a web browser, one can view web pages
that may contain text, images, videos, and
other multimedia and navigate between them
using hyperlinks.
 Using concepts from earlier hypertext
systems, English physicist Tim Berners-Lee,
now the Director of the World Wide Web
Consortium, wrote a proposal in March 1989
for what would eventually become the World
Wide Web
Web Sites

5. Sever Side and Client SideSever Side and Client Side
Client SideClient Side
Occurring on the client side of a client-server
system. For example, on the World Wide Web,
JavaScript scripts are client-side because they are
executed by your browser (the client). In contrast,
CGI scripts are server-side because they run on
the Web server. Java applets can be either server-
side or client-side depending on which computer
(the server or the client) executes them.

6. Sever Side and Client SideSever Side and Client Side
ServerServer
SideSide
Server-side scripting is a web server technology in
which a user's request is fulfilled by running a script directly
on the web server to generate dynamic web pages. It is
usually used to provide interactive web sites that interface to
databases or other data stores. This is different from client-
side scripting where scripts are run by the viewing web
browser, usually in JavaScript. The primary advantage to
server-side scripting is the ability to highly customize the
response based on the user's requirements, access rights,
or queries into data stores.

7. Static websiteStatic website
 A static website is one that has web pages
stored on the server in the format that is sent to
a client web browser. It is primarily coded in
Hypertext Markup Language, HTML.
 Simple forms or marketing examples of
websites, such as classic website, a five-page
website or a brochure website are often static
websites, because they present pre-defined,
static information to the user. This may include
information about a company and its products
and services via text, photos, animations,
audio/video and interactive menus and
navigation.

8. Dynamic websiteDynamic website
A dynamic website is one that changes or
customizes itself frequently and automatically,
based on certain criteria.
Dynamic websites can have two types of
dynamic activity: Code and Content. Dynamic
code is invisible or behind the scenes and
dynamic content is visible or fully displayed.

11. The main purpose of a dynamic website is automation. A
dynamic website can operate more effectively, be built
more efficiently and is easier to maintain, update and
expand. It is much simpler to build a template and a
database than to build hundreds or thousands of
individual, static HTML web pages.

13. Web Technologies IntroductionWeb Technologies Introduction
Web Technologies are playing the leading role in
the World Wide Web includes many latest
evolutions in it like Web Services, Web 2.0,
Tableless Design, HTML, XHTML, XML, CSS 2.0
etc.
Web technology aims to enhance creativity,
secure information sharing, collaboration and
functionality of the web.
Web Technologies have been developing since
last 15-20 years and are still ….
Web 2.0,Web 3.0 are the main revolutionary
Technologies of it.

14. BlogBlog
Sites generally used to post online diaries which
may include discussion forums (e.g., blogger,
Xanga). Many bloggers use blogs like an editorial
section of a newspaper to express their ideas on
anything ranging from politics to religion to video
games to parenting, along with anything in
between. Some bloggers are professional bloggers
and they are paid to blog about a certain subject,
and they are usually found on news sites.

Depends on:
What is the type of content?
Who is your audience?
Who will modify your content?
What are your Future Plans?
Availability of technology?
Your previous experience?
Portability and Data sharing

20. Developments in OPACsDevelopments in OPACs
Recent developments in ICT have enabled
libraries to publish their catalogs on the Web
making them accessible locally (on site) and/or
remotely through the Web as a Web OPAC.
OPACs can also be linked to the circulation
module so that users can find out from its OPAC
record the status of an item (whether it is on
loan, on-shelf, etc.) and loan information about
it, as well as making a self-reservation and/or
self-check-in/check-out (and maybe other
features such as ILL, and links to electronic
resources on the Web or local databases)

21. What library automation standards areWhat library automation standards are
supported by most systems?supported by most systems?
The standards adopted by the library industry
and community that facilitate data interchange
between libraries and institutions, and which are
supported by most systems are MARC (Machine
Readable Cataloguing) standards and Z39.50,
the information search and retrieve protocol
standard.

26. Genisis, basically implements the following steps:
1. the web query form (with field selection and index access);
2. the display of query results;
3. the display of a particular record’s details;
4. test the application;
 For testing the generated application with GenisisWeb, will
require the use of a local web server such as Apache web
server.
 Finally, depending on which version of GENISIS you are using,
it is possible to export the generated application to a real
internet/intranet server (Windows, Unix, Linux) or to prepare
the structure of the CDRom for the copy.
 GENISIS is based on the Web CDS/ISIS interface WWWISIS by

27. Library of Congress Server Configuration

28. What is Z39.50?What is Z39.50?
Z39.50 is generally defined as the information
search and retrieve protocol standard used
primarily by library and information related
systems.
The standard specifies a client/server-based
protocol for searching and retrieving information
from remote databases simultaneously using a
single interface.

29. Library of Congress
ServerZ39.50 is a national and international (ISO 23950)
standard defining a protocol for computer-to-
computer information retrieval. Z39.50 makes it
possible for a user in one system to search and
retrieve information from other computer systems
(that have also implemented Z39.50) without
knowing the search syntax that is used by those
other systems. Z39.50 was originally approved by
the National Information Standards Organization
(NISO) in 1988.4
