Web Evaluation
The first high-quality website I'll be evaluating is The Gutenberg Project. It's a giant archive of e-books that are proofread and uploaded by a team of accredited volunteers. It's a great way for budding readers to gain access to a world of old literature and even some newer ones. As far as the Currency of the website, there is a news section that has a headline about how Project Gutenberg supports Net neutrality, and how The Public domain will Grow again in 2019.
The Relevance of Project Gutenberg is apparent the website is old school but bare bones and intuitive due to the simple side banner with clearly stated categories. The information in these books may be a little advanced for some high school students, however, the top 100 books section are all popular books that pop up in various classrooms. The Gutenberg Project is a very authoritative source as it's backed by the federal government, through a copyright that according to its news section is growing for 2019. There is also a mailing address: "Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116" as well as in the contact page an email for the CEO of the Gutenberg project: "gbnewby (at) pglaf.org". It's also a very accurate website that is thoroughly proofread by professionals and vetted volunteers by these professionals. The e-books are uploads of books that are well established and require little to no modification before being uploaded. The Purpose of The Gutenberg project is to provide the proletariat with as much legal access to great works of literature as possible. One can read these documents online or download them for later or even print out the whole book if they choose. The website functions off donations which it receives year to year by the literary community who see the importance of the project.
