He earned his M.S. in Library and Information Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign.
Reviews
As they struggle with an ever-increasing volume of data and knowledge, librarians seek new and more efficient ways of managing information. This practical guide offers solutions by describing how to use open-source tools (free, cross-platform software) and relational databases to create Web pages. The text, divided into three sections, first addresses database basics, setup, and administration. The second section focuses on programming and creating reports, while the last one examines a database-based Web project step-by-step from conception and design through programming and implementation. Although the author does assume that readers have basic familiarity with html, he is careful to explain concepts thoroughly and eschews technical language. He even provides sample forms and annotated source code for his sample applications. This is a helpful and user-friendly resource that fills an important void. Sean Kinder
