Letchworth Library Lesson

Why Should We Evaluate a Website?  There are approximately 23,633,010,000 webpages available.  Some of these websites have information that is accurate but there are many that do not!  How do you know if you are getting accurate information?

How to Begin…  There are six main things to consider when you are trying to decide is a website is acceptable to use for research…

1.) Accuracy  Is all the information on this webpage ACCURATE?  How do you check this? You can cross-reference your RESOURCES.  This means CHECKING another library resource such as a book to see if they have the same INFORMATION.

2.) Authority  Does this webpage list an AUTHOR - or someone who is responsible for writing this information down?  Is there an address so that you can CONTACT this person with questions?  Does the author mention where he or she went to COLLEGE or how they obtained their knowledge?  Is their education RELATED to what they are discussing?

3.) Objectivity  – Does this webpage have BIAS or opinions?  Is this webpage trying to get you to BELIEVE one side of an argument or another?  Does this website just GIVE you facts and let you make up your own mind?

4.) Currency  Does this webpage tell you when it was last UPDATED by the author?  Are all the links LIVE?  Is the information on the page CURRENT?  Is this the sort of information that needs to be UPDATED regularly?

5.) Coverage  – Is there too much or not enough INFORMATION?  When they author did their research did they include a works CITED list for you to see?  Can you see all the information or do you have to SUBSCRIBE to see everything?

6.) Content/Purpose  What is the PURPOSE of this site?  What sorts of RESOURCES does this site provide?  Is this site trying to inform me or CONVINCE me?  Is this site trying to SELL me something?

Alternatives…  Books in your library  They have been selected by a professional based on their quality and usability. The information contained has been verified for accuracy.  Reputable magazines  They are published by a staff of writers and editors who use journalistic integrity. This means that writers for a good magazine always research information for accuracy. If a mistake is made, the magazine will correct it in writing.  Databases  Consist of web resources that have been researched and checked for accuracy by a paid team of professionals. They often require a subscription and are specifically developed for people doing research.
