Evaluate information before you use it as a source! Make sure information is relevant, appropriate detailed, current, from someone that is an authority and unbiased. ™ A mnemonic acronym for information evaluation Created by Karen M. Christensson, M.S. Library Media Education

Am I wasting my time looking at this? Does this have anything to do with what I’m doing? Am I on the right track to find what I’m looking for? Am I using the right search terms?

Should I be looking at this? Does this have anything to do with what I’m doing?

How much information do I need? Is this information really helpful, or is it “fluff”? LOOK AT THE DETAILS! Are there links to help me find out more information? Did the author cite sources?

How old is this information? Is there newer, better information out there on my topic? Do I want the newest “best” information available ? When was the page written or last updated?

Who wrote this information? What are their qualifications? Are they an expert? Says who? Google them to make sure! Is there an address so you can ask questions? Is the information accurate and believable? You don’t want to look like a fool for using bad information!

Why was this information written? Is this written to try and sell me something? Convince me of something? Inform me of something? Is the author in favor or against my topic? LOOK FOR CLUES! Website name/website suffix Advertising (if any) Bias isn’t always bad…when you know it’s bias!

What can the URL tell you? Uniform Resource Locator.Com – commercial organization/business.Edu – College or University (SC.edu).Org – non-profit organization (schools).Gov – US Government or organization.Net – Network provider (Earthlink.net).Mil – US Military (Army,Navy,Marines,etc).Biz – commercial.Eu – websites in European Union And many others!
