8.4 Evaluation of Web Sites How should you evaluate web sites you have located? Remember the evaluation criteria discussed earlier, we can further adapt it here for websites: • Is it useful or relevant to your topic? • Is the site timely? Is there any publication date, and has it been updated recently? • Is the site appropriate for your purposes? Is it scholarly or general? Is it a .com, .edu, or .gov? • Is the site authoritative? Is it signed? Is contact information provided? Has the author provided credentials? If no individual author is listed, or is the sponsoring organization reliable? Remember: anyone can create a web site.
