How to evaluate it

Does it meet your purpose?

Are you looking for an overview or for analysis in depth?

Is the topic covered adequately and in sufficient detail, including names, dates, places, and events?

Is the information original, or just a rehash of someone else's work?

Has the web site been finished, or is it still a "work in progress?"

Has the information been updated?

Is the data complete?

Does the site have a geographic or other limiting focus?

Is there a fee for access to the complete web site or document?
