INFO: Website Evaluation Sources from INCOLSA

At our meeting with Linda on Tuesday last week, she supplied to us a list of website evaluation sources that were compiled by INCOLSA. If you are a subscriber to INCOLSA-L, you have likely already seen these. Keith and I were online later last night, and the process of evaluation came up. I thought I would pass these along for the record even though I have not yet visited each site.

http://www.google.com/newsletter/librarian/librarian_2006_01/article2.html - contains a short article on how to evaluate websites.

I hope I've transcribed those appropriately. If not, let me know and I'll review the print.
