Finding the Author's Credentials

Authority: Good information is presented by some person or group who is a recognized authority
1. Who is the author? And by what authority does s/he speak?
Try to find the author's credentials on this web edition of Augustine's Confessions. Although they're not listed on this page you can get to them easily by clicking on his name. What else qualifies Dr. O'Donnell as an expert on St. Augustine?
(Close the pop-up window when you are done.)

Something to think about: Would you cite a book without knowing who is responsible for the information inside it? Why treat a web page differently?
