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 trust worthy, ask those
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?
·
As 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 this information?
CHOOSE THE RIGHT!!!
