HTML Help
Created by the Web Design Group to encourage the creation of "non-browser specific, non-resolution specific, creative and informative sites that are accessible to all users worldwide."

Web Tools & Graphics
A well-laid out site which provides links to some of the best tools to make and maintain your web site, including HTML editors.
Manuel de programmation en HTML [French only]
A little outdated, but still an excellent French-language resource for HTML basics. Includes a Glossary of HTML tags. Note: Designed for Netscape; may not display correctly in other browsers.
Library Web Manager's Reference Center
An extremely thorough collection of more advanced resources, aimed at library web server administrators, but useful for any librarian. Includes the searchable archives of the Web4Lib mailing list.
Web Design for Librarians
A "selection of practical web design techniques, advice, and hints" from the Scholarly Communication Center at Rutgers University.
Authoring Accessible Web Pages [Bilingual]
The Public Service Commission of Canada offers Web Site Self Evaluation tools as practical guides to help Web site designers ensure that their Internet sites are accessible to all users, including those with disabilities.
Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI)
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), in coordination with organizations around the world, is pursuing accessibility of the Web through five primary areas of work: technology, guidelines, tools, education & outreach, and research && development.
