Validity of Internet Sites Wikipedia—an online encyclopedia that is edited by anyone (how valid is that source) Check to see if there is an author. Is he qualified? Look at domain (.edu,.org) Is it dated? Is the page sponsor reliable?

Reliable resources?? Can you tell at a glance?

Reader’s Guide & Inter-Library Loan Reader’s Guide to Periodical Literature is published monthly and indexes major magazine articles. Just because we don’t own a book or magazine doesn’t mean you can’t access it. We can use the Kansas Inter- library Loan system and request books from all across the state usually available 4-6 days after ordering.

Citing Sources If you’re not sure how to site a source these sites will help you. project.com/citation_machine/index.php project.com/citation_machine/index.php itationss itationss Web Page Encyclopedia (CD- ROM) Internet Journal or Magazine Article Internet Newspaper Article Online Subscription Database Recorded Interview Interview Conducted by Researcher Online Forum Posting Broadcast & Multimedia Productions Personal Message
