Product Description
This reference is essential for anyone using the World Wide Web and needing a systematic way to evaluate web page accuracy and integrity. It is intended for researchers and general web users, as well as web page authors.
Synopsis
Most of the existing books about the World Wide Web focus on either the graphic design of Web pages, or on the technical issues of how to write HTML code. In contrast, the focus of "Web Wisdom" is on the quality of the information found on Web pages. It not only presents the theoretical background necessary to evaluate and create quality information on the Web, but also provides over 40 screen captures that illustrate how many of the ideas presented in the book have been effectively implemented into existing Web pages. This book addresses Web evaluation issues from two perspectives: from the point of view of the Web user and from the point of view of the Web page author. It provides easy-to-use checklists for evaluating existing Web pages to determine whether the information contained in them is likely to be of value or not. The checklists can also be used by Web authors as a guide to ensure that the pages they create are of high informational quality.
