Evaluating materials

It is easy enough to find information, but it is sometimes harder to assess whether it is reliable, current, or correct.

See the Web Guide page on Assessing the quality of websites.

The Library recommends using the Internet Detective tutorial about finding quality information.

It also suggests Safari, a guided exploration through the information world. Safari includes online tutorials on understanding, searching for and evaluating information.
