Design/methodology/approach – A discussion of how XML is used to separate content from presentation, how this technology is used in a home-grown freeware application, and the results of converting a static website into a database driven one through the use of this application. Findings – Demonstrates that converting to a dynamic, application driven web site results in a more flexible, efficient, and consistent web presence. Research limitations/implications – Every library is unique and what worked well at Rensselaer might not work as well elsewhere. Luwak is currently only available to organizations at Rensselaer. Practical implications – A useful primer on how a conversion like this happens and on the sort of features that can make a database driven web application run smoothly. Originality/value – This paper provides a unique account of one libraries' experience in making the sort of transition that will become increasingly important for all library web sites.
