Taking the Mystery Out of URLs (special thanks to Joyce Valenza, librarian extraordinaire)
Questions to Ask Yourself about a Website
Authority Accuracy
- Is the information verifiable by other sources?
- Is there a bibliography?
e.g., Dihydrogen Monoxide
Objectivity
- What is the author's point of view?
- Is there a statement of purpose or philosophy?
- Selling? Promoting? Venting?
- Sponsored?
- Where do related links lead to?
- What is implied but not said?
e.g., Martin Luther King, A Historical Examination, http://www.martinlutherking.org
