I saw a couple of resources lately that people may want to look at:

Web Log Washing

Instructions, a Perl programming script, and sample log
files for "log washing," which is "the process of removing
information from your web access log that can be traced to a
specific individual, in order to protect the privacy of the
users of your web site." From librarians Roy Tennant and
Devon Smith.

Web Log Washing

The other resource is one that a friend of mine told me about. It sounds like a really interesting resource
for combining colors in creative ways. Even though it is a small part of our projects, it may be a good
reference for anyone interested in creating web pages in the future:

Designer's Guide to Global Color Combinations by Leslie Cabaya

Diane Kovacs (a GSLIS grad!) is coming out with a 2nd edition of her book that may be of interest given our discussions about Web Collection policies. It is Building Electronic Library Collections: The Essential Guide to Selection Criteria and Core Subject Collections. The web site which she is currently working on (& could use some help on if anyone is looking for an independent study or web project) is at http://www.kovacs.com/ns/essentialguide.html.
