Use
the Internet to find Web resources |
The
Internet can be a very valuable research tool providing instant access to
information from around the world.
Cyberspace can also be overwhelming because of the vast amount of
information out there. How can you
determine that a site you have found fulfills the criteria of academic and
professional authority? It is important to evaluate the web resources you
consider.
Ask
yourself these questions:
·
Who
created the site? Is the author an expert in the field?
·
When
was the site created, last updated?
·
What,
if any, is the bias expressed by the site?
·
Does
the domain indicate whether it is a commercial, organizational, or educational
web site?
·
How
does it compare with what you already know about the subject?
