Synopsis

Web Wisdom is an essential reference for anyone needing to evaluate or establish information quality on the World Wide Web. The book includes easy to use checklists for step-by-step quality evaluations of virtually any Web page.

* a detailed discussion of the items involved in evaluating Web information;
* checklists tailored to the creation and evaluation of specific Web page types (advocacy, business, informational, news, personal, entertainment);
* over 40 screen captures illustrating the principles presented in the book;
* discussion of copyright issues and meta tags; and
* a glossary of terms and bibliography.
