 Train your eye and your fingers to help you find quickly what you want  Train your mind to think critically and suspiciously  Ask questions!

 Is it a personal page?  Is it a commercial site? (like aol.com, geocities.com)  What type of domain does it come from? ◦ Government (gov, mil, us) ◦ Education (edu) ◦ Nonprofit (org)  Is it published by an entity that makes sense?

 Look for about us, philosophy, background, biography, who I am…  Ask: ◦ Who wrote this page? ◦ What is the purpose? ◦ Is the page dated? Current? ◦ What are the author’s credentials?

 Look for links, additional sites, related links  Ask: ◦ Are sources documented? ◦ If information is reproduced is it complete? Altered? Fake? Or Forged? ◦ Are there links to other resources?

 Why was the page put on the web? ◦ To inform? ◦ Explain or persuade? ◦ Sell? ◦ Share? ◦ Disclose?  Satire? Parody?  Bias?
