Since publication of the first edition of "Web-Based Instruction", many significant advances in Web-based instruction have occurred. New technologies and tools have emerged, different ways of accessing the Internet are available, and virtual reference trends are redefining some library users' idea of the "library", and information literacy skills are recognized as essential to students' success.

This completely revised edition also: includes a new section on learning theory applied to Web-based instruction; translates Web-speak and defines the lingo, with expanded glossary and acronym list; illustrates new procedures with fresh screen shots and URLs from top library Web programs; addresses the limitations and benefits of Web-based instruction with clear criteria for decision-making; takes a comprehensive step-by-step approach to developing, implementing, and assessing Web-based instruction programs; and identifies the authoring tools and resources required to be effective.
