Overall I think that the Smithsonian Institute’s Website is well-equipped with lots of information. This information is good for user that professionalize in history or people who like to explore about life. It is consider a good website after analyzing the evaluation. Most of the requirements are met except the way of presenting itself. It has too many columns and hence it looks a bit complicated for the user. The simple arrangement helps a lot in the lacking of presentation. Therefore, I say this can be considered as an example of a good websites.

The most important thing that I learned is the using of search facilities. This skill will follow me forever as nowadays Internet is a usual tool for us to search for information - be it fact or opinions. Also with the part of evaluations enhance my search results and taught me how to analyze a website.

Due to its complicated presentation, more time is needed to find the page that I want to go. Fortunately, the data I need to answer most of other parts of the evaluation can be found readily. However, similar problems occurred to me for the parts on accuracy and authority. These are the 2 areas I am in doubt with always. So this shows that I need to have more help in these areas.

It shows that most of resources I found seem to have a few things in common. For example, the purpose and coverage will be stated clearly, and most of the resources are free to view. I find difficulty in answering the parts on authority. Though the contact (usually e-mail) can be found in the home page or the "about us" page, it does not really show it is an authoritative. So I tried to figure it and I think that what I thought is true. Also, Accuracy is another tough part to evaluate. As some sources, I view it as correct, but the information can be fake or bias. So I'm also somewhat unsure. The others are still manageable to analyze. Finally, I finished my evaluation for the 3 resources.
