However, the signature line at the end of the document

Adds some degree of credibility to the document in that Dr. David Barry of the Management and Employment Relations Department of the University of Auckland, New Zealand appears to be credible/reliable. There is no indication other than the well-written document to indicate whether or not there was an editor.

Authority: There is an author, Helen Mc Kay, but the page itself is not signed. There is no information given about the author and there is no introduction or link provided to enable the

reader to ascertain the credentials of the author. There is no declaration of sponsorship in this article, but the signature element area where Dr. David Barry's information appears indicates affiliation with the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The University of Auckland indicates a reputable establishment even though there are no links to its Website. Since the page includes neither a signature nor a sponsor, the University of Auckland provides a good starting point for a search to validate Dr. Barry's credentials.

Objectivity: This document shows only a trace of bias and it is not designed specifically to sway opinion. This document presents the views of a university expert who presents both the pros and cons of using storytelling as a strategy for teaching or for change in the workplace.

There are no advertisements on this page, and the page is very plain with only a simple title and then pure text depicting a question-and-answer format.

Currency: Neither the home page nor the second page of this document are dated. However, there is a date of June 1998 given as the date of the documented interview. Since there are no links from this document there is no way to determine whether the site is being maintained.

Coverage: The document depicts the views of a university professor on using storytelling as a strategy with which to teach and to institute change in a work environment. It also offers a nice, clear and succinct interview format that gets right to the point rather than wandering around and presenting so much drivel that the reader loses interest before completing the story. The intrinsic value of this page is that it goes directly to the point that story telling can be used to teach and to create work environment change. The material is very brief and basically superficial in that it really does not go into any great depth for the rationale supporting the professor's beliefs.
