Foster City, CA -- March 6, 1997 -- IDG Books Worldwide, Inc. and Novell, Inc. announce the availability of Novell's The Web at Work: Publishing Within and Beyond the Corporation, by Peter Jerram. This new Novell Press book uses case studies of Novell partners and industry giants like IBM and Sun Microsystems to take a non-technical approach to Web publishing for both external and internal communications.

Offering an in-depth examination of the best practices for creating and managing corporate intranets and Internet Web sites, this book clarifies the nature of information and provides suggestions for creating meaningful content and planning for constant change. In addition, Jerram details the pitfalls of Web technology and explains how corporate culture dictates the way the Web is adopted within a company. By using the experiences of companies implementing the latest Web technologies, Jerram helps readers define their unique business goals, evaluate the technology and put the power and potential of the Web to work for their organization.
