AuthorityWas the information written by a known expert in thesubject? Does the Website describe the authors job or education?

ObjectivityIs the information written without obvious bias? Or is itwritten to persuade? Does the author make assumptions that might bequestionable? Does the author have a commercial or political motive?

CoverageDoes the information cover all of the topic or just part of thetopic?

TimelinessIs the material current and up-to-date? Is there a date

listed, so that you know when more recent information is needed?AudienceWho was the information written for? Was the informationwritten for an adult audience?
