The Info-Quality-L mailing list was established in March 1996 by the Coombs Computing Unit, Research School of Social Sciences, ANU (Australian National University) to provide a world-wide communications vehicle and a central electronic archive for exchange of information dealing with the criteria, guidelines, standards and operational procedures for evaluation, development and management of high quality online, especially Web, information resources. The forum is an integral part of the Information Quality WWW Virtual Library, which has subscription information and a link to the Info-Quality-L archive (wais database).
