Evaluating Resources Remember you can’t believe EVERYTHING you read, especially online. Make sure to use the following tips before you use ANY source.

Evaluating Resources Authority: Who says? Know your author! WHO created this information and WHY? Do you recognize the author and their work? Is the author stating fact/ fiction? Does the author acknowledge other viewpoints/ theories?

Evaluating Resources Objectivity: Is the information biased? Information fact/opinion? One sided? Who sponsors the site? What influence might they have? Is the information meant for entertainment: humor/parody/satire?

Evaluating Resources Authenticity:/ Reliability: KNOW THY SOURCE Who else has reviewed the information? Are sources given for where the information was gathered? Are sources trustworthy? Check URL

Evaluating Resources URL’s and their meanings: .gov: posted by gov’t group or agency .edu: educational 3rd grade or college? .org: nonprofit org. Sponsorship? .com: business/generic site. Credibility? .net: variety of org. offering services.

Evaluating Resources Timeliness When was the site last updated? Are links/ sources updated? Is the information current?
