Assessing the Academic Validity of Websites with the "Mobile" Internet Detective

From the Intute Blog:

Intute (from the UK), the incredibly useful directory of high-quality web sites and so much more is online with the final edition of their mobile Internet Detective.

What is the Internet Detective?

The Intute Internet Detective is already positioned as a popular, well respected online tutorial, helping users to assess the academic validity of websites. This project intends to build on the existing service by extending its reach to include mobile users, who, as the mobile Internet has developed, have come to expect higher standards when browsing on their handsets. The project will deliver a user friendly mobile site that is fast and inexpensive to load, providing the right content, presented in the right order and with an adapted layout.

You can access the "Mobile" Detective here.
