S. Beck created an interesting website regarding electronic websites available on the free web. Remember information in database, directory, gateway, portal, clearing house or repository has been evaluated and mined from the web for quality. If it’s a free standing website or part of a larger website ask yourself about quality and authenticity of the site. Documents can be altered; images can be doctored to make something appear different from what it actually is. Be careful. Consume web resources wisely.
