Evaluated Internet Sources

Introduction

Internet sources must be evaluated to assure their authenticity and relevance because Web sites and pages do not go through the intensive editing processes that traditional print and visual resources do.

Therefore, YOU, the user, must learn to assess the validity of the sources you use in your research.

Don’t be fooled into believing that just because it’s on the Internet, it’s true. In essence, don’t believe everything that you read! Be sure that you are using credible sources in your research!
