Quantitative surveys determining the effectiveness of the committees will be distributed to a sample of committee members.

Departmental site development - Examination of departmental Web page artifacts will yield information about how computer science departments present themselves to various types of audiences and what type of information are included on the departmental pages.

Higher educational Web standards - This survey of Web sites of higher educational institutions will scrutinize how Web design standards are incorporated and will quantitatively analyze percent compliance.
