It’s Online, but Is It On Target?
Part 2
Research
with Attitude
Conduct your research with the attitude of a skeptic. As you
examine websites for clues that they’re trustworthy, ask these questions:
·
Who wrote the Web page? If you can’t identify the
individual or organization responsible for the information, don’t use it.
·
What are the author’s qualifications for writing on
the subject?
·
Has the article passed through an editorial process
designed to ensure quality and accuracy?
·
What is the website’s purpose? Look for motives – like
selling products or winning votes – that could result in biased or incomplete
information.
·
Is the information accurate? Is it up to date?
·
Where did the author get the information?
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
