History
The NIH Web Authors Group began in September of 1995 as a forum to share information among NIH Web developers. The first meeting was held February 28, 1996. This site was launched in July of 1999 to provide additional information and support. The group focuses on content, design, and policy issues and sharing best practices, challenges, and resources. Over several years, the WAG has served as forum for key public presentations including: overviews of new NIH sites, policy issues affecting NIH sites, information on usability techniques, and updates on Web searching and the NIH search engine.
