| Abstract: | "A guide to finding quality information on the Internet" - Cutting through the jargon, this book addresses the growing problem of how to sort the quality sites from the mass of junk available. It suggests a system of criteria and guidelines, developed through empirical research, for selecting and evaluating high-quality information resources. It also advises on devising checklists and rating schemes for numerically evaluating the quality of information. Areas covered include : Search engines; Subject catalogues and directories; Rating and reviewing services; Subject-based gateway services; Virtual libraries. This edition also includes information and guidance on the Resource Directory Network, the potential role and usefulness of metadata in locating quality information, and using Web "citations" for retrieving quality material. |
| Contents note: | Introduction : some questions answered; Using search facilities to maximize quality information retrieval; Assessing the quality of an information source; Evaluating particular types of sources; Using checklists, kitemarks and metadata to indicate "quality"; Compilation of evaluation checklists; List of websites; |
