You should definitely refer your colleague to Art Information and the
Internet: How to Find It, How to Use It, by Lois Swan Jones. (Phoenix: Oryx
Press, 1999). Although it is a little out of date, the information and the
sites (though not all the URLS, naturally) are still terrific. This text
should really be her starting point. --Joan

Subject: [ARLIS-L] Evaluation of web sites for ART class
>I am posting this query on behalf of a colleague who is teaching an
>upcoming Information Literacy class for an undergraduate art history
>course. The class is on evaluating web sites for art history topics, e.g.
>sites that would be retrieved via a google search. She is mostly
>interested in sites that cover art movements, styles, etc. such as
>Mannerism, Art Deco, rather than just images. She is looking for examples
>of web sites that may be considered in-accurate or un-reliable as well as
>comparable sites that could be considered authoritative or "peer reviewed".
>Her predecessor used examples from medical web site on topics such as
>pancreatic cancer to explain how to go about evaluating web sites. My
>colleague would prefer to use art specific examples to help make the
>assignment more relevant.
>
> If anyone has any examples they'd be willing to share, we'd be most
> grateful.
>
> Thanks, Marianne
