To find links to websites on preaching, begin with the following "web guides":

Two of the most popular websites providing texts for the liturgical year (with commentary) are:

• UMC General Board of Discipleship Preaching Resource Page  (Select "Preaching Helps" under "This Weeks Lectionary")                

• The Revised Common Lectionary (Vanderbilt University Divinity School)

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.
