Why Evaluate Web Sites?

There are no editors or fact-checkers to prevent an incorrect or biased site from being created. Not all the information found on the web is useful or accurate. This guide will help analyze web sites for their value in research.

Where to Start

Use the tabs above to learn how to analyze a web site. Remember:

A quality resource contains accurate, current facts presented by an authoritative author and the information presented fits your needs.

A poor choice for quality might contain outdated data or inaccurate assumptions presented by an unidentifiable author whose bias is unacknowledged.
