For this reason more emphasis should perhaps be given to selectivity than to comprehensiveness and eclecticism. Quality control is also an occasional problem. Although the vast majority of the material Diotima has to offer is scholarly and reliable, there are some exceptions. The instructor who sends his or her students to Diotima cannot omit giving them careful instructions about the evaluation of Internet sources. The interface design of Diotima is impeccable throughout.
Information is laid out in large, attractive type on a plain white background.
There are no frames and very few graphics. The raft of text links that appears on the front page looks fine on a large screen, but word-wrap problems occur when the window is scaled down or viewed on a smaller screen. The University of Kentucky server on which Diotima is housed is very reliable, and both it and the site are maintained on a professional level. In dozens of extended visits to the site I have never found more than two or three defective links at any one time. Errors reported by me in the course of researching this review were all corrected within a couple of days.
