This document summarizes and reviews the ANYDay Today-in History website, which provides general information about events, births, and deaths that occurred on a specific date chosen by the user. The site is easy to access and use without login requirements. However, it has not been updated since October 2011, so the information may not include more recent events. Screenshots demonstrate how a user can select a date to see a list of things that happened on that day in history. The website provides a simple way to look up initial information about significant occurrences on a given date.

1. Ready Reference Presetation
Answering the question “When” something happened on a certain date

2. ANYDay Today-in History website
• This website is very easy to use and gives the user a vast amount
of general information by simply choosing the date and the month
they want to know information for broken down into several
different categories from birthdays, death days, and important
events
• The intended audience for this site would be for anyone that is
looking for information on a specific date. The generalness of the
information would make it accessible to anyone regardless of age.

3. Accessibility and Reliablity
• This site is very accessible for anyone to use. There is no need for
a log in or restricted access of any type. When choosing a date it
brings you to another page that shows you what happened on that
date to the knowledge of the sites creators and moderators.
• However, the last update as per the website was 10/25/11 so the
user must understand that there haven’t been updates in quite
some time. If you are looking for older information though this is a
great stepping stone to begin research on a certain date and time.

4. Example of the website in action
• The following are screen shots of the website being used.
• Here you can see the homepage of the site. You chose a date and
then click on show events to see what happened on that date in
history.

5. • I chose December 12th and this is the beginning of the list that was
provided for the search.

6. Overall Effectiveness
• This website will allow user to access a variety of general
information that happens on a specific date in history. From birth
dates to events specific to that day a user can use this website to
begin a more in depth study on the date that they are interested
in.
• The website for AnyDay is http://www.scopesys.com/anyday/
• This is a simple tool that anyone can use when they have a
question of “when” did something happen on a certain day in
history. My only wish is that it would be updated to current events
and not stopped in late 20110
