Meta tag in HTML

[Anne.Hugo@educ.utas.edu.au (Anne Hugo)]

Hi

Can anyone point me to a simple online resource where I can see how to use
the META tag to describe publications and their contents in an HTML page?

All I want to do is accurately categorise our online publications catalogue
to describe the contents of each item (eg. author(s) title of publication,
keywords, and maybe another field)

Many thanks
Anne

(BTW: I thought I'd try asking this on a 'meta' rather than an HTML
listserv, but please forgive me if I am off-topic -- in that case could
someone please email me (off the list) and tell me where to go? Thanks:>)
