[Air-l] standards for web sites?

[Rachel Harris]

Hi Kate

I'm not sure about standards for evaluating sites, but the following
provides a comprehensive list of criteria: scope, content, purpose, reviews,
workability, cost - each further broken down. The paper also reviews others'
views on evaluation, so provides a good starting point at least.

Smith, Alastair G. "Testing the Surf: Criteria for Evaluating Internet
Information Resources." The Public-Access Computer Systems Review 8, no. 3
(1997). Available at: http://info.lib.uh.edu/pr/v8/n3/smit8n3.html

Kind regards
Rachel

Hello AOIR,

For a colleague's project involving African American related websites: Have 
any standards for evaluating websites have been set or even outlined?  For 
instance, perhaps a set of measures such as stability/permanence, depth, 
audience, host, etc.

URLs for good African American related websites would be welcome too.

thank you,
