- Abstract
- Suggests techniques and evaluation criteria for information sources and services available on the Internet. The need for qualitative judgements about library materials and information sources is upheld and accepted techniques and evaluation criteria for printed reference works are outlines. The emergence of non-book materials and electronic information formats has created the need for new techniques and criteria relating specifically to online services and CD-ROM products. Use of the Internet by library and information workers is examined, establishing that the majority of current traffic is communications-based. The authors suggest that networked information sources require the development of additional techniques and criteria for evaluation if they are to be used by information professionals. The potential issues in establishing such a list are discussed
