Bruce - in evluating web resources, I look for :
1. Authority -who is the author - what is the author's credentials -
what organization is he affiliated with and the reputation of that
organization.
2. What is the purpose of the page - is it clearly stated
3. Accuracy - Can factual information be verified through references to
other credible sources - is the page edited or peer-reviewed - has the
site been evaluated by one of the Web subject indexes, rating service or
a library and what criteria did they use
4. Timliness - when was it last updated
5. Integrity of the information
6. Objectivity - is there a bias - is it clear and forthcoming about
it's view of the subject
This is part of what you need to do to gain the trust and respect of
your on'line client.
sincerely, Jackie Coppola
