Subject Guides | Evaluating Sources | Search Engines
Don't forget to critically examine your sources:
 |
WHO wrote the information? |
|
WHAT are the web page author's credentials? |
|
WHEN was the information written? |
|
Is this site providing reliable information about a product or service it is selling? |
|
Consider the viewpoint of the organization presenting the information. Is the sponsoring organization selecting facts to support its views? |
|
