4. Evaluating the Information  Check the domain name of the site you are accessing.edu.com.gov.mil.net.org  CARS checklist (Credibility, Accuracy, Reasonableness, Support) Credibility o What’s the author qualifications for writing the subject? o Are there any ratings or reviews about it? Accuracy o Is the information you find factual, detailed, and up to date? Reasonableness o Does the information present balanced and consistent argument? Support Where does the information come from? Does the information contain sources?

5. Tips  Read selectively: There is never enough time to read every article written about your topic.  You can’t learn every tiny detail about a subject, or you’ll never stay within your deadline. Focus especially in the important facts.  Documentaries and different media information are quick ways to soak up facts and build arguments.  Keep a detailed log of what you’ve already searched (key words, related topics, etc.) and how you searched (library catalogue, online, etc.)  TAKE NOTES! Sort through your notes/research by grouping the information you’ve collected in points and sub-points.  PRINTING IS THE EASIEST WAY TO GATHER INFORMATION
