How Do You Evaluate Information? Coffman Library Media Center 11/17/2018

Authority Who is the author? Does the author have specific skill or knowledge about the topic? How do you know this person is an expert for real? 11/17/2018

Accuracy Is the information correct - look at the details. Compare 2 or more other sources to see if the information is the same. Use the listed bibliography to find those additional sources. 11/17/2018

Objectivity There should be no bias, opinion or prejudice. It has a balanced point of view (more than one side to the story). There should be no emotional language or editorializing. 11/17/2018

Currency Is the information up-to-date? Look at the publication date. Look at the “Last Updated” link. Does your research topic need current information? 11/17/2018

Coverage This is the extent to which the information is covered. In other words, can you find all of the information that you need or are you only getting “headline” news. Indepth vs. surface 11/17/2018

Real Life We have a boat-load of information coming at us every day. This criteria simplifies how we choose information. “Brand Name” information actually is better than “No Name” information. 11/17/2018
