Public resources

Resources are one layer of the evidence system

Bay Evidence does not reduce the entire institution to a page of links. This gateway routes residents, journalists, researchers, advocates, and public employees into the appropriate evidence, document, service, and research infrastructure.

Bay Evidence resources

Services and access systems

Service directories should remain distinct from analytical evidence. Bay Evidence can document eligibility, access points, hours, restrictions, language access, disability access, and system navigation without confusing a service listing with program evaluation.
