Traditionally, the main component of library collections has been print (paper) materials. Today, many online <\/em>resources are being added to supplement collections, replace printed (paper) items, or improve access. Although online sources are accessible via the Internet, many originated in paper form and follow the same publication criteria. Therefore the quality of print and online<\/em> information sources are similar.<\/p>\n In the case of information that is made available online<\/em> you need to pay attention to the fact that anyone can, with no supervision or review at all, put up a web page. No systematic monitoring of content, except for articles published online<\/em> of otherwise reputable scholarly journals and books. Biases, hidden agendas, distorted perspectives, commercial promotions, inaccuracies, and so on are not monitored.<\/p>\n No standard format for websites and documents. Web pages exhibit fewer clues regarding their origins and authoritativeness than print sources. Important information, such as dates, author(s), and references are not always easy to locate. While a reader can easily note this information in a book or periodical article, the web user must often search through several pages, if the information is provided at all.<\/p>\n This means that there is no overriding organization or governing body ensuring the validity of web page content. There is a good deal of high-quality information on the web, but there is also much that is of questionable quality. Do not assume that information on the web<\/em> is more current or accurate. Is the user’s responsibility to evaluate information sources, in print and on the web, which they find during the research process before using it in a paper or presentation.<\/p>\n In order to facilitate your work when searching for information we recommend you to use the following criteria to evaluate online information resources:<\/p>\n In order to evaluate the quality of the online information resources try to answer to some of the following questions in respect to each criteria:<\/p>\n\n
