✦ Synopsis

Abstract

The development of accurate, reliable instruments to judge the quality of intellectual works requires an understanding of genre, audience, communication, information organization, and design. In the case of Websites it can be useful to have an instrument to help determine the quality of a Website for any number of reasons: 1) Websites are now reviewed in order to be linked to an organization's own Website, and an assessment instrument can serve as a reviewing tool. 2) Librarians “collect” and catalog Websites as they do other materials, and they need quality standards. 3) Students and others need learning tools so that they can understand how to judge Websites to aid in assessing online information. 4) Novice web developers can use quality touchstones in order to create usable Websites. The presenters of this session have developed a Website evaluation tool that has evolved from a qualitative instrument to a quantitative one. They will show how the instrument developed and how it is used today.
