Possibility with ABCD
• ABCD allows librarians to build their own website themselves without any knowledge of web-technology or HTML-coding.
• A complete range of elements can be presented in a rather well-structured way.
• The own resources (catalogs, databases) will be accessible directly form the website with an integrated search facility (‘meta search’) but surrounded by other resources and information from both the Web 1.0 era (links to external information) and the Web 2.0 (interaction with users).
