Alastair G. Smith, Testing the Surf: Criteria for Evaluating
Internet Information Resources
Librarians and users need criteria for the evaluation of
Internet information resources. This article reviews
criteria published in the print literature and on the
Internet. An extensive "toolbox" of criteria which can be
used by librarians and others to evaluate Internet
information resources is presented. These criteria are in
turn compared to criteria stated by selected evaluation and
review sites. It is noted that many of the criteria
considered important by librarians are not used by some
popular evaluative sites.
