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?
