Evaluating Websites

What things determine the usefulness and reliability of a website as a research tool?

Why Evaluate Websites? Anyone can publish on the Internet. Many facts and resources are not verified. Websites are often used to give one point of view. Many sites have no editors. Many sites are market orientated. Sites are a mix of entertainment, information, and advertising.

Evaluation Criteria Accuracy Authority Objectivity Currency Coverage Presentation

Accuracy Is the author(s) listed? Is the information organized with well-developed ideas and themes? Is the information free of spelling and grammatical errors? Is the writing clear? Are all the facts correct and verified? Are sources listed?

Authority Who published the document, and it is separate from the “webmaster”? Does the site offer an “in-site” search engine? Are the publisher’s credentials listed? Are the author’s credentials appropriate? Site’s domain is a preferred source (e.g., .org; .edu; .gov;)

Objectivity Is there bias present? Is fact and opinion clearly stated? Is hateful, defamatory, and/or inflammatory language used? Is the purpose of the website clearly stated?

Currency How current is the information on the website? How often is the information updated? Are any embedded text links or hyperlinks up-to-date?

Coverage Do the document’s links, graphics, and/or multimedia features compliment the document’s theme? Is any special software required to view any documents? If so, is there a “text-only” option? Do all site features function for all browsers? Does the site require the user to become a member to view any contents?

Presentation Are the menus and navigation tools easily visible? Do the pages load quickly? Is the site’s layout logical? Is there a site map? Does the site use “pop-up” ads and/or is the advertising unobtrusive?

Assignment Examine your favorite website and determine Its usefulness Its reliability Complete the Website Evaluation Rubric with your overall conclusions.

Your Conclusions Overall, I would rate this website to be Excellent Adequate Poor And Recommend Not recommend because _______________________________.
