Publisher's Synopsis
Information abounds on the Internet, but not all of it is current, correct or usable. This handbook helps the reader evaluate electronic resources using many of the same criteria as for print. Focus is given to the World Wide Web, but some attention is also given to other sources (such as email, listservs and newsgroups). The authors illustrate each principle with concrete examples, and an appendix includes practice activities so that readers can apply what they have learned. Designed for teachers, media specialists and administrators at the secondary level, this guide should also be useful for elementary level educators.
