WEBSITE EVALUATION BECAUSE SOMETIMES, THE INTERNET LIES.

● Print is your friend, but it isn’t your only friend. A lot of great information is floating around in cyberspace, and you just have to know how to tell the good stuff from the bad. ● A source is considered reliable when it has been written/researched/compiled by experts in whatever field the topic falls into. What is reliable?

Let’s start with what reliable sites aren’t. Reliable sites are NOT: ● biased (with biased websites, the goal is to persuade rather than to inform; facts may be bent, twisted, or misleading) ● trying to sell something (the goal is to sell rather than inform) ● social media, wikis (including wikipedia!), personal blogs (these sites can be edited by Joe Anybody; just because he says he’s an expert doesn’t make it true) How can you tell reliable from unreliable?

Reliable websites usually* ARE: ● Reputable academic institutions, news sources, magazines/channels, and museums (Discovery, Smithsonian, CNN, etc.) ● Online journals (reliable online journals include authors and bibliographies) ● Sites that end in.org or.edu *Emphasis here on usually: Some media outlets can seek to entertain rather than inform, and.org or.edu sites can be politically biased. Evaluate EVERYTHING! How can you tell reliable from unreliable?
