Evaluation of a Web Site
1) Accuracy - verify by checking against something else.
2) Authority - who wrote this site and what do you know about them?
3) Objectivity - watch for biases, are both side of an issue being presented
4) Coverage - is there breadth and depth?
5) Currency - are events current?, is someone maintaining the site?
(Barnes p80-82)
