Evaluating information
can be a complicated process. There is plenty of information available
that is inaccurate, fraudulent, or biased. So it is important to determine
if the resources you find are factual and verifiable. |

Items in the Library and available via the Library Web site are usually easier to evaluate because they have already been reviewed twice by the time you see them. First, an editor verifies that the information is accurate and then a Librarian determines whether the item is appropriate for the collection. But even when using these resources, it is important to evaluate the information to determine if it is appropriate for your research. Freely-available Web resources usually do not pass through this review process, so you will need to look at these items more closely. How will you judge what is good information and what is not? |
