CONTENTS COMMUNICATIONS Using the World-Wide Web to Deliver Complex Electronic Documents: Implications for Libraries By John Price-Wilkin (pp. 5-21) To retrieve this file: GET PRICEWIL PRV5N3 F=MAIL The World-Wide Web (also called the Web) is a very promising tool for libraries to use to explore the delivery of rich and complex documents. Nevertheless, there are many limitations in the Web's HTML markup language and the ability of Web servers to deliver structured information. This paper explores the benefits and limitations of the Web in the context of several projects taking place at the University of Virginia, both in the Library and in the University's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities. A gateway between the Web and the SGML-based PAT system that helps to overcome the Web's inherent limitations is also described. + Page 2 + ----------------------------------------------------------------- The Public-Access Computer Systems Review ----------------------------------------------------------------- Editor-in-Chief Charles W.
