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
