Assessing information on the internet: how to know if information is good Version

What is a “good” information source Just because it’s on the internet does not mean it’s true, useful or accurate.

Why do I need to assess websites? Websites do not have to be checked for facts, figures, spelling, grammar or links before being made available to everyone

Currency Is the information up-to-date?

Currency : questions to ask When was the website created? When was it last updated? Do all the links work? Example

Relevance Is this information needed for you to complete your assignment?

Relevance: questions to ask Is it easy to read and find the information? Is the website designed clearly? Is it the right website for you? Example

Author Who is the author?

Author: questions to ask Is the author clearly identified? Is the author an expert or well respected? Is there any contact information for the author? Example

Accuracy Is the information correct?

Accuracy: questions to ask Are there spelling and grammar mistakes? Is there a reference list or a list of links? Can you confirm the information? Example

Purpose Why was this website written?

Purpose: questions to ask Is the purpose of the website clear? Is it fact or opinion? Is it biased or balanced? Is it trying to sell you something? Example

Remember C – currency R – relevance A – author A – accuracy P – purpose
