Nevertheless, there are many limitations in the Web's HTML markup language and the ability of Web servers to deliver structured information. This paper explores the benefits and limitations of the Web in the context of several projects taking place at the University of Virginia, both in the Library and in the University's Institute for Advanced Technology in the Humanities. A gateway between the Web and the SGML-based PAT system that helps to overcome the Web's inherent limitations is also described. Technical support is provided by the Information Technology Division, University of Houston. Back issues are also available from the University of Houston Libraries' Gopher server.
