| Questions to ask.
WEB
SITE:Evaluation1 www.pitt.edu/~wwwes/eu.inform.html
|
| 1. What is
the scope of the site.
|
| 1.
Included in the site is links to other EU sites. There is not
much information on the site itself, but provides an abundant
number of links. The links cover a variety of subjects such as
policy, a European calendar of events, current affairs,
statistical and, factual information, access to law and
legislation, EU documents and bibliographic information. The
site is easily navigated as all topics are organized into their
own genre of EU relevance. |
| 2. Who are
the sites authors? (person, institution)
|
| 2..
The author of the site is Phil Wilkin, the bibliographic
authority for West European Studies at the University of
Pittsburg |
| 3. What
category does the site fit in (what type of information are you
getting from that site)?
|
| 3.I
believe it is a meta-index site. |
| 4. What is
its focus: American, non-Western, etc., time-period or general |
| 4.The
focus of the site is to provide links to EU related materials. |
| 5. Rate the
information contained in the site:
|
| 5. The
information on the links are accurate as links with similar
topics tend to overlap information, leading me to believe they
are accurate. The information is current, as some of the links
are updated daily. In comparison with the European Union site
www.eurunion.org, this site has more info and links than the
"official" EU site. The site does not seem to be
biased in terms of country favoritism, and no criteria is listed
for including information. |
| 6.
Rate the site:
|
| 6. The
site is stable as it is updated with current issues daily. It
does not state the last update, but current issues are on the
links. It does not list ant awards. |
| 7.
How does this site relate to the course you are currently
taking? How helpful/not helpful is it? Would you
recommend it to other students?
|
| 7. In
relation to relevance of classes, this site is an excellent
source of info for History 343(European History 1945-present).
It coincides well with the current events project that is to be
completed for the course. It is littered with links for students
to choose from in relation with the topic of their choice. |
| 8.
Write a brief narrative summary of the site. What courses
and kinds of research would this site be most useful for? |
| 8. The
site is good for any course dealing with European politics and
government, but it is a good site for subjects outside of the EU. |
