There is no universal quality control on the net. Any organization or individual can easily publish information through the World Wide Web and it is your responsibility to carefully evaluate the information you find and to choose resources that are appropriate to your information needs. Evaluation Criteria Scope Look for a statement of the intended purpose or coverage. Most quality resources will have a clearly labeled scope statement, often in an about or read me file, but you may have to infer the scope by browsing the site. Compare the stated scope with the actual scope of information you find.
Authority Look for a statement of responsibility for the creation and maintenance of the resource.
