What Should You Do?  Identify the author and evaluate the author’s credentials  Identify bias and incomplete information in a website.  Identify the purpose of the website  Analyze facts to decide if they are true and complete  Determine the currency of the website

Identify the Author  Name  Qualifications  Well-known in their field  Any other sources the author has written/contributed to

Affiliation  Who sponsors the web site?  Is the author connected to an organization/institution?  What type of ending is in the URL: .org .gov .edu .net  Stay away from ~ (they typically lead to personal web pages)

Website Purpose  Who is the intended audience  Is the web site providing non-biased information or trying to convince you to believe one way over another  Is the information there to inform you or get you to buy something

Accuracy & Usefulness  Use your best judgment  If it seems unrealistic, it probably is  Can you verify this information on other websites as well  Is it factual or opinion-based?  Are additional resources referenced?  Will the information provided truly help you?

Currency  Is the site current  Can you find the last time the site was updated  Do all of the hyperlinks on the web page work & do they take you somewhere useful?  Is there a contact section?
