How do I know what information to use? Evaluating tools Comparison of information Knowledge of domain

Knowledge of Domain Know the meaning of the domain destination:.com: commercial, hosted by a company.org: non-profit organization.mil: military branch of the government.net: usually an internet service provider.gov: government website.edu: educational institution Information from.com or.org frequently have a bias in their information. Information found on.edu and.gov will probably be the most reliable.

Comparison Information Provide your students with reliable sites to compare their information. Education Index Librarian’s Index to the Internet World Wide Web Virtual Library Subscription Databases

Why can’t I just copy and paste from the internet? Plagiarism is when you use someone else’s words or ideas and pass them off as your own (Izenberg)

What can I do to keep from plagiarizing? Take good notes: you will need the title, author, date, page #, etc. Quote Paraphrase Include your own thoughts and words

Quoting When you use the words exactly as the author said them, you have to put the words in “quotes” and identify who said it. Example: Books like Twilight and Harry Potter are great books. According to Lehman, “Even though Twilight is a long book, readers of all kinds are picking it up and reading it” (110).

Paraphrasing Putting someone else’s ideas in your own words. Changing a few words does not mean you paraphrased. Still requires a citation Examples:

Paraphrasing continued: What does it look like? Twilight and Harry Potter are great books. The length of Twilight has not stopped readers from picking it up (Lehman 110).

Website Evaluation Who is the author, contact information, link to homepage? When was the site created and last updated? How extensive is the information that is covered? Are there links to other useful/reliable websites? What is the purpose of the site? Persuade? Educate? Market a product? Are there any biases? Are there citations/credit given for all sources mentioned? Are there errors on the page? Have you checked other sources for accuracy of the information?
