REVIEW OF LISA'S PROJECT-------Investigating New Methods To Prevent Infections Caused By Staphylococcus aureus





This web-based project is a very good internet guide about S. aureus. It is not easy for the author to find so many useful web sites about this topic because it is a new field and few people are studying about it.

The project is great in the following aspects:

 
   THE CONTENT
The content of this project is excellent. The author does not say a lot but the readers can learn almost every aspects about this topic through the links and references. It is indeed a web-based project.
  THE STYLE
The style is consistent and straightforward. In each topic page, a brief explanation of the topic is given first. Then links to excellent related web sites and relavent literature references is given. After visiting a few topics, you are very familiar with the style that you may feel that you are at your own home (or your own homepage). 
  THE ORGANIZATION
The organization of this project is very clear. The readers don't have to go back or forward to visit other topics. All the topics are clearly listed on the left.


  THE LINKS

The links are wonderful. Every link is followed by a brief introduction. So it is very clear. Just from this, the reader can know what it is about and decide if he should visit the link.
  THE IMAGE
The white ball used to list the links are very good. It makes the links very clear.
Some aspects are not perfect in my opinion:
 
The background: I do not like the dark background. When the text is black and the font size is small, one may feel very tired while reading it. 

In http://www.gl.umbc.edu/~lmasca1/ench772/t1.html, the "DATABASES" on the left menu part is not a link. Maybe the author may add more content to it in the future.

"PubMed", "BioSites" and "Bio Netbook Guide" in the menu do not have a direct relationship with this topic. You may put it in your homepage as "useful links" or "Reference and Web Links" page.
