Goans, D., Leach, G., & Vogel, T. M. (2006). Beyond HTML: Developing and re-imagining library web guides in a content management system. Library Hi Tech, 24(1), 29-53.

This is a case study from Georgia State University that reported on 30 web-based research guides on management system of the library at the school. The system was designed using MySQL and ASP by the library web coordinator and web assistant. After launching, expectations were exceeded on the system, although more improvements are planned for the future. The article includes background on the library and systems, and an in-depth look at the management systems in place. The technology of the system is discussed in terms of upgrades and future goals, plus complications that the technology is creating. GSU wanted to make both librarians and students happy with the changes in the system and they concluded that it was successful.
