EVALUATING INFORMATION

The immense quantity and uneven quality of content on the Internet requires you to think critically about online resources. Three questions can help you begin to evaluate a website:

Who is providing this information? (Is there even a stated author/provider?)
Where are they getting their information? (Is it a reputable source and clearly cited?)
Has a reputable educator/researcher (e.g., a professor or librarian) recommended this site to you?

Additional questions and criteria are provided in San Jose State University’s Guide to Evaluating Information.

For further help in evaluating a resource, contact a member of the Pitts Library reference staff by email.
