Be critical of the contents and the source of any results you obtain from the Web.
Anyone can publish a web page. Some things to look for include:
| Accuracy | Is there information for an author or insititution? |
|
Authority |
What are the author's credentials? Is the author qualified to write this document? |
| Objectivity | Are there opinions expressed by the author? Any advertisements? |
| Currency | When was this produced? When was it last updated? |
| Coverage | Any broken links? Is the information cited properly? |
