Evaluating Websites
Remember to always evaluate a website before using it for research purposes.
Some criteria for evaluating websites include:
- Accuracy
- Authority
- Coverage
- Currency
- Objectivity
- Purpose
- Support
You can always ask a librarian or your professor for an opinion about a specific website as well.
