Web Evaluation: Yarns or Non Wovens--Oct. 14th

Evaluate 2 web sites on the same topic. You should evaluate these based on the criteria listed on the University of British Columbia Library handout. If you have lost the handout, this information can be found at http://www.library.ubc.ca/home/evaluating/ You should write a one to two paragraph evaluation on each of the web sites. This assignment should not exceed 2 pages, double spaced, and should be placed in your folio.


http://www.southeastnonwovens.com/index.html

This website for the Southeast Nonwovens Inc. claims to be the “leading source for independent nonwovens contract research, technology development, and toll manufacturing.” The website offers information about their company such as background, products and services, and contact information complete with phone numbers, physical address, and email and fax number. The web pages are easy to manage with sidebar links for organization and free of advertisement; however, the website design lacks fresh and creative appeal. Nowhere in the website does it mention if their company information is up to date, nor does it mention the individuals responsible for the website—who launched it. This website for the business seems informative enough all in all as you browse through it; however it lacks copyrights and other credentials for the consumer or clients to see.

The website for INDA: Association of Nonwoven Fabrics Industry offers resources, news and facts regarding the nonwoven fabric materials. The website also includes upcoming events, contact information, memberships and more. The pages are copyrighted and have been updated for this year. The website has a sense of organization with the placement of links and utilizes both sidebars for all contents: topic links on the left and articles on the right along with an ad. There is also a useful tool on the top right for search. All in all, the website seems to have adequate information to be credit worthy.
