Evaluation Assignment Part B

Making Decisions

 

 

This part of the assignment will give you experience in evaluating resources for use by a given community or institution.  

 

Beginning with the criteria you laid out in the first part of this assignment, you should evaluate the resources listed below in the category you chose.  Based on those criteria, and particularly the one you identified as most important, you should select the one resource you consider best for the use and audience specified.

 

You should compare the sources based on your criteria, ultimately making and justifying your decision on the best source.  These can be found on the new books shelf behind the main reference desk (2nd floor) of the Odegaard library.
