Planning a Website The Structure
Will it be – static or dynamic? The Design The Content
“A website is like a baby, it needs to be changed often”
Website by Committee. Rob Darrow ([email protected]). Nov 2006.
Websites I’ve set up by committee
California School Library Association – www.csla.net
Cal Online Virtual High School – www.cusd.com/calonline
Teaching American History Grant – www.cusd.com/calonline/tah
Website by Committee. Rob Darrow ([email protected]). Nov 2006.
What I’ve Learned
It’s all about design! Once design, structure is set – then add the
content. Many people can contribute content. Hire “editors” – content review. Final Editor – One or two people with the overall
vision of the website – final content review. Some re-editing may be needed. Anyone can transfer the content to the Web.

Do you know about the Invisible (or deep) Web?
Mostly university databases. Can only access by “direct query” not via Google. 300-500 times larger than the commercial Web The Deep Web contains nearly 550 billion
individual documents compared to the one billion of the surface Web.
More than 200,000 Deep Web sites presently exist.

Web 2.0 and the future It is now “web by committee” and
“individuals” “An attitude not a technology” (I.Davis) About user participation, user
generated content, participation, remixing and tagging
This can be the age of the amateurs!
Website by Committee. Rob Darrow ([email protected]). Nov 2006.
Web 2.0 and libraries
Growth in open access and open content material
Increased virtual usage and via Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)
Reference services are becoming more virtual as users want instant answers
Time-shifting, to suit the users and their learning styles
Website by Committee. Rob Darrow ([email protected]). Nov 2006.
The “new” Web 2.0 and Information Literacy
Engage the Digital Natives - meeting them where they are
Web 2.0 is interactive - sites need to be interactive and materials more visual and active, e.g. games
New opportunities to use deep and active learning methods and peer-based learning
Need to teach how easily information can be created More emphasis needed on teaching evaluation and
ethics
