Riassunto

Most Internet guides are concerned with how to find information on the Net, but searchers are now faced with a vast amount of information all of varying accuracy, reliability and usefulness including misinformation and time-wasters. This book addresses the growing problem of how to sort the quality sites from the mass of junk available. It suggests a system of criteria and guidelines, developed through empirical research, for selecting and evaluating a range of information resources. It forms a comprehensive manual for the LIS professional responsible for filtering information and helping the searcher to navigate the Net successfully. The contents of the volume include: the Internet and the information quality problem; how the criteria were developed; evaluation criteria for networked information sources; resource guide; and resources available for filtering material.
