Evaluating
Websites
When you do a search on the Internet, you get
all kinds of results. Some of the sites may be official sites, recognized
reference sites, full-text documents, etc. Others may be personal pages,
commercials, silly sites, or even hoaxes. You need to be able to evaluate
the information you get from the Internet. Remember: Anyone can publish
a website on the Internet and there really isn't anyone to monitor that
information being published it is accurate or even true. So how do you
evaluate a website?
