HOW DO I
KNOW I HAVE RELIABLE INFO . . .
All web pages are not alike! Just as in other printed
sources, you must learn to distinguish the good from the bad!
Some things to look for:
- some information is more authoritative and reliable than
others;
- some information is biased;
- some information is inaccurate;
- some information may be out of date;
- some information may not present thorough coverage of the
subject.
Evaluating Sources - one page
reference document that you can print
The OWL (Online Writing Lab) at Purdue has
some excellent information to consider as you evaluate the
reliability of your sources.
