Credibility Evaluate the website address. What knowledge do you gain about the website from this evaluation? What kind of website is it? Whose site is it? Is the site educational (.edu), organizational (.org), commercial (.com), network (.net), governmental (.gov), business organization (.biz), United States (.us), informational (.info), television (.tv), country specific (.au, .ca, .de, .co, .uk, etc.)? Now, skim through the page of the site you are on. Is there any contact information for the author? Look for the name of the author, organization, institution, agency, publisher, and/or whoever is responsible for maintaining the site. What type of contact information are we given? Is the person maintaining the site qualified? Is the author a proper source for the material he, she, or it is covering on this page? (Example: Is an English professor writing about a scientific topic? Is he or she the most reliable source for this information?) Is there an agenda? Is there any bias? Is the sponsor or organization reputable? Is there a bibliography or works cited list documenting any sources compiled or consulted in preparing the information on this website page?
Currency Are there any additional links on the page where you may be able to explore the topic further? If so, explore these links. Do they take you to sites that may be trustworthy? Is so, what makes you think that these additional sites may be trustworthy? Are there any dead links (links that take you to an unavailable page)? When was the site last updated?
Clarity Are there any unfamiliar slang terms used on the site? Is the text on the site written with care? Is the grammar and spelling acceptable? Is the website easily navigated? Can you get around the site without much trouble? Or do you get lost?

Hornof 11 Annotated Bibliography Asher, Donald. How to Get Any Job with Any Major. Berkeley: Ten Speed Press, 2004. Print. In this interesting book, Asher offers advice to college students about choosing a career and what that entails. He goes even further by arguing that one can get almost any job he or she wants with the right tools. Gillespie, Kerry. Librarians Fear for Privacy. Toronto Star 22 June 2003: A08. Newspaper Source. Web. 21 Nov. 2008. This article discusses the Patriot Act and its effect on privacy violations. Canada is currently in the process of passing a similar law, and Gillespie is bringing this idea to the public. Kaplan, Allison G. Is Your School Librarian 'Highly Qualified'? Phi Delta Kappan 89.4 (Dec. 2007): 300-303. Academic Search Complete. Web. 21 Nov. 2008. Kaplan defines the job of a media specialist within the school system. The functions of a school librarian, she argues, are not fully understood by administrators; therefore, media specialists may not be playing a productive role in the learning environment. Levine, Jenny. Chapter 5: Broadening Gaming Services in Libraries. Library Technology Reports 44.3 (April 2008): 24-34. Academic Search Complete. Web. 21 Nov. 2008. This article explores gaming as a tool that can be used to enhance literacy skills. More importantly, however, it suggests that libraries can use games to appeal to younger patrons. Case studies are also provided to show various ways that games have been used to enhance learning and attract teens. Martin, Ann M. Discover Leadership @ AASL and Discover Your Future. Knowledge Quest 37.1 (Sep/Oct 2008): 4-6. Academic Search Complete. Web. 21 Nov. 2008. Martin is reflecting on leadership and how librarians should use leadership skills to bring their into the future. It seems almost like a bunch of snippets that do not flow that well together. Perhaps this article is only a compilation of various leadership-based ideas. Occupational Outlook Handbook, 2008-09 Edition, Librarians. Bureau of Labor Statistics. U.S. Department of Labor, 18 Dec. 2007. Web. 21 Nov. 2008 <http://www.bls.gov/oco/ ocos068.htm>. The Bureau of Labor Statistics classifies the differences between the different types of librarians. It also explores the job functions and projected job outlook for librarians.
