ABSTRACT
This chapter highlights the survey results and discusses the status of Web projects in performance reviews, the risks of Web publishing, and suggestions for improving the acceptance of credible, professional Web projects. Librarians and teaching faculty chose to create World Wide Web projects that support each of the three traditional areas of professional achievement, namely, teaching/librarianship, scholarship, and professional service. The Modern Language Association of America (MLA) developed a set of recommendations for evaluation, which continues to serve as a model for guidelines approved in other professional organizations. Blaise Cronin and Kara Overfelt found a sample of Mathematics, Computer Science, English, and Sociology programs modified their promotion and tenure guidelines to adapt to faculty e-journal publishing. The availability of electronic journals, or e-journals, has grown exponentially. Seminoff and Wepner identified four factors as the most common evaluation tools for technology-based projects. Such as, contribution to the field or discipline, national recognition, well-researched data collection, and local recognition.
