Sometimes it seems like potluck whether a site you find on the Web can be trusted. To help students-and librarians-make judgments when using the Web for research, Alexander and Tate have constructed an in-depth curriculum for evaluating sites for quality, accuracy, and reliability. With plenty of labeled screen shots to illustrate their points, the authors tackle issues such as the balance of advertising and content in sites and analyzing personal Web pages. Two appendixes offer checklists and questions that evaluators can use to judge any site. The information and criteria presented are accurate and excellent, but the strict structure, length, and density of the book will make it rough going for many readers. Many excellent sites on the Web from respected institutions already survey the basics of site evaluation. Librarians and media specialists writing a Web-use curriculum or a "virtual" collection development policy, however, will find this book indispensable.
