I wish first to thank some of my colleagues at the Ithaca College Library who have been very supportive as I have built and maintained this Web site. They include Jennifer Strickland, Bridget Bower, Brian Saunders, John Hickey, and Jim Bondra.
The "Question
Authority" example is an expanded idea from one I first saw used
by Marge Fauver of the Eastside Branch Library, Santa Barbara Public
Library System. Sarah Foregger, a student at Lewis University, and Jutta
Zalud of Vienna, however, have questioned the accuracy of one of my
statements regarding the Question Authority example. I challenge you,
too, to discover if and where I am wrong.
