Its 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 individualism 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 websites purpose? Look for motives
• —like selling products or winning votes—that coukd result in biased or incomplete information.
• ·      Is the information accurate? Is it up-to-date?
• ·      Where did the author get this information?

CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
