Sample Web Pages and Web Sites to Evaluate
You've reached the last page of "Finding and Evaluating Sources." You're ready for some homework, right? Say after me: "I'm a lean, mean, researchin' machine!" Louder! I can't hear you!
Let's return to our topic, the repatriation of Native American remains. Below you will find a list of sample Web sites related to the topic. I gathered them by using search engines and by following links between sites. Choose some of these sites and evaluate them, using the guidelines provided by Alexander, Tate, Grassian, and Harris. Be sure to evaluate at least one advocacy page, one business/marketing page, one informational page, one news pages, and one personal home page (see the previous page of this exercise). In some cases I have supplied the URL (Universal Resource Locator, or Web address, for those new to Internet jargon) just for the main page of an entire site. You may have to choose between evaluating the entire site or just a page or two from it.
